    My first smoker, Camp Chef is on it's way!

    Welcome. Good choice with the Campchef. There isn't a lot to learn with it. It's pretty much plug n' play. Just be sure to cover the drip plate with foil. That keeps cleanup to a minimum. The foil does not need to be changed every time. I usually let it go for 3-4 smokes or grillings. Just...

    Brisket

    Partially cooking anything, and later finishing is never good. Even when you par-boil something, it's finished with another method. The exception is blanching before immediately freezing.

    Poor Brisket Choices

    Well, there is none left, so I guess I did alright. Actually it was more than alright. It was downright delicious, tender and juicy to the point of dissolving in your mouth. Separating the flat and point cut the smoke down to about 13 hours. It was a 9:00 PM start. 160° and wrapped at 6:00 am...

    Stall

    Normal, You never know how long it will stall. Some will wrap it at that point.

    First brisket (overnight)

    Put mine on at 9:00 pm, 160° and wrapped at 6:00 am. It's 189° right now. It's going to a party at 3:00 pm, so the timing is about perfect. BTW, it was 14 pounder that I separated the flat and point into two pieces.

    Poor Brisket Choices

    Catfish bait is always another option, but at $3.49 lb. that's some pricey bait.

    Poor Brisket Choices

    I went to the local restaurant supply yesterday to get a brisket to smoke for a housewarming party tomorrow. I grabbed the last packer in the floor cooler. It was 14.5 lbs. @ $3.49 per. It was pretty fatty and pretty thin on the flat end, but the right size. I headed to the service desk and the...

    Which pellet smoker to go with

    I did a ton of research, and boiled it down to CampChef SmokePro DLX. It has great features that the others don't, like the hopper clean-out chute, and burn pot clean-out rod (LOVE IT!). It also has a good list of available attachments. Very heavy and solidly built. Smoke is light and fairly...

    Chuckie burnt ends

    Yep, looks real good. I've had the same issue with chucks. I did a couple for 12 hours to 205 and they wear still difficult to pull, but I did it anyway. The tacos were amazing and I have some set in the freezer for chili con carne. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Easter Ham

    Better late than never, but I've been working. I simply poked some cloves in it and globbed some crushed pineapple on it. I didn't have any slices so I made do. Into the Camp Chef with Apple pellets and a few hours later... voilà! So tender and juicy.
