    Flat too tough?

    Thank you y'all! So my briskets have been undercooked! They're consistent, that's why I know it's something I'm doing wrong. 128512

    Flat too tough?

    Hey guys when I cook a brisket my lean always seems to be too tough, but I go by when the point gets probe tender. Here are some pictures of each. I cook at about 275, wrapping in butcher paper after about 7 hours. Prime briskets. What am I doing wrong?

    Right on the bottom powering the coal bed. The further away from the meat the better was my idea.

    Josheaton, I would defiantly open that up a lot more. I personally cut mine as big as I could, but then again I'm using a 1,000 gallon tank and am trying to acquire as much air flow as possible. Which seems to work pretty good because I can keep the whole 16' of cooking chamber within 25 degrees...

    Yeah possibly I run mine about half open. I get about a 25 degree difference front to back. Maybe 50 when I had 15 briskets first put in it, but it leveled out as the briskets started to warm up.

    1,000 Gallon Smoker

    This is what I used: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0067NIY16/?tag=smokingmeatforums-20 Thank you everybody for the kind words. And it doesn't have to be a dream. Just a lot of time and patience. Was easy to build, just time consuming.

    Pulled Pork Question/Advice

    I wrap in foil after about 4 hours and then cook until super tender and then let it rest for at least an hour in the foil. Once rested I take it out of the juice (in pieces because it no longer stays together.) and pull it in a separate vessel. I once pulled it in the juice and people complained...

    1,000 Gallon Smoker

    I normally cook at 275 and have it within 25 degrees front to back. I had a guy borrow it who cooked at 225 and had it within 10. I think I can get it closer at 275 if I play with the exhaust a little more.

    Better start practicing burning a clean fire in that puppy. I'm sure it's possible. If you can master it, the reward will be much better!
