    Super Bowl Brisket! pic heavy

    Hello, gents! I figured I would share this brisket I was proud of. Tried some new things on this one. Started out with a 14lb. My little helper loves to cook it with me but won't eat it. First time I partially separated the point and took most of the fat off. It was pretty thin in the...

    Another lang question.

    So I have my 36 patio dialed in. It's holding consistent temps with nothing but clean heat. My question is how would I approach getting a heavier smoke flavor on my meat? I'm using 50/50 oak and hickory. I did some ribs and chicken legs today and I couldn't taste much smoke flavor on the...
