    Change of plans w brisket

    Hello all. I was planning on smoking a brisket late tomorrow, but plans changed and I won't smoke it until Saturday night. The problem is, I seasoned it w SPOG a couple hours ago. Is it okay to leave it alone until I plop it on Saturday night? Or will more than 24 hours of having it seasoned...

    BRISKET FLAT, MY WAY

    Hey Al, sorry for the late reply. Not a great success for me this time around. I followed all the instructions, but, it was in the smoker for about 10 hours and it never went above around 185°F. I had 2 temp probes, and they were damn near spot on. The last time I went to baste it, there was no...

    BRISKET FLAT, MY WAY

    Also, you didn't mention (unless I missed it!) about covering it, particularly around 160 F. No cover at all?

    BRISKET FLAT, MY WAY

    Hey Al, I have an 8 lb. brisket flat - is that too big for this recipe? I saw another post with a 2 lb. and want to make sure. Any advice would be appreciated!!!

    Thank's. Should I start the clock over and keep it in for another 8 days?

    Not enough Prague powder #1

    I got distracted and have yet to add additional cure. Can I still add or is it too late? If it's too late, what can I do with the meat?

    Not enough Prague powder #1

    Yes I got off subject a bit. I used cure 1, and apparently used wrong formula. A lot of misleading info out on web. JJ sent correct calculator so I'm good. But a lot of info out there comparing cure 1 to TC. Just tying to assist those who may be using one or the other, as miscalculations can...

    Not enough Prague powder #1

    I did use cure #1, but would think any advice that anyone has regarding these 2 cures could shed some insight on this as it can be dangerous

    Not enough Prague powder #1

    I was wondering about that. A lot of websites say they're the same, but?

    Not enough Prague powder #1

    Thanks JJ. I'm about 12% lower than I should be! Thankfully the problem can be "cured"! Sorry, I couldn't resist!

    Not enough Prague powder #1

    Hello all. I started making a batch of "BBBB", Bears Buck Board Bacon, and just realized I didn't use enough cure. I did it 2 nights ago. In loose vac sealed bags in fridge. I have my original calculation, so I can figure out how much more is needed. Is it safe to add to bags? Also, is there a...

    Venison Hind Quarter Smoke - Brine or Marinate or both?

    Hello all. I just got a deboned hind quarter (football) roast and want to smoke it. Reading all kind of suggestions on brining, marinating, etc., but finding all kinds of info... soaking in ice for 4 to 5 days and changing ice often, to just seasoning it right away and throwing it in smoker...

    “BBBB”—Bear’s Buckboard Bacon (Pic Heavy)

    Hey Murray are you using the bluetooth app? Every time I used the app, the unit would spike. The display would say like 800° (even though it can't go above 275°). I'm not sure what the actual temp inside was - I was too busy freaking out about the high temp. I stopped using the bluetooth, and it...

    Alternative to A-MAZE-N Pellets

    Not trying to get anyone upset here, but the original point of my questions was in the differences in brands of pellets. I checked B & B's website, and just did again, and saw no mention of anything other than 100% premium hardwood. It doesn't tell of a mix, or percentage (maybe it does on the...

    Alternative to A-MAZE-N Pellets

    I just went on both Grillers Gold and B & B, and they both say 100% wood, but never mention 100% of the wood you're buying, like hickory, apple, etc. I would think if someone went through the "expense" of making them 100% of the wood you wanted, they would state that, as Todd does on his website...
