    New to the smoking world and forums

    Yeah I moved to Austin, TX from california. I didnt really know what BBQ was before I came out here a year ago, but then I started trying the BBQ joints and got hooked. I had never trimmed a brisket before, never even really held one. But I watched a couple videos (Aaron Franklin of Franklin BBQ...

    a packer brisket is untrimmed and contains both the point and the flat. these are the two muscles that make up a brisket. It is also possible to buy a brisket trimmed of fat, or split (the two muscles are separated and sold individually).

    First brisket last weekend...what went wrong?

    RE: beef grades - this is my experience, your mileage may vary. You can absolutely make a good smoked brisket from any grade, but I treat them differently. The amount of fat marbled throughout a prime is much different from a select, which directly affects the moisture of the finished product...

    how do I order brontosaurus ribs from the butcher

    How much are you guys paying for these? I havent bought any from the butcher I found (already had plans to do a brisket this weekend), but he told me they were ~4.25/lb on the phone, which doesnt seem bad. I was going to pick some up next week.

    how do I order brontosaurus ribs from the butcher

    I was looking for these as well in the past week. I live in central texas and was kind of shocked at how difficult they were to find. I eventually found a local meat market that had them, but it took quite a bit of searching.

    Hi Everyone

    My name is Mike. I lived in California for the first 30 years of my life and had no idea of what real BBQ/smoking was. I'm sure there are good places in California, I just didn't seek them out. And then I moved to Austin, TX a few months ago. My obsession with brisket started at Rudy's (sorry...
