    Franklin's recommended brisket temp and times

    Oh yes, also- I took delivery on my 48" custom offset smoker a month ago and I;m still getting the hang of temp control using nothing but wood. I will say there is a huge difference between the ribs I've cooked on the offset and my BGE. I haven't tried a brisket on it yet.  I really love the BGE...

    Franklin's recommended brisket temp and times

    The briskets I've cooked thus far have been choice grade and between 12-14lbs. With respect to pushing through the stall I have definitely noticed that there is little to no stall at that temp. I have watched pork butts go into the stall and go backwards. Of course that was at 220'. Anyway, the...

    Franklin's recommended brisket temp and times

    I've cooked a few briskets on my LBGE at 275'. I think this is the temp Franklin says he cooks his. Consistently mine are done hours before his estimated times. Am I missing something? I see here and elsewhere that most people come in around 240' to 250'. I mean it tastes great, but I don't know...

    First try at snack sticks, going to use Leggs 116, got a question about additions.

    Those look great-I need to try the snack sticks out. Do you have a favorite source for spice mix? Scott

    Bacon cheddar & chicken wing money shot

    That looks awesome. I am very interested in the chicken wing blue cheese ones you made. I am new at this. What do you mean by high temp blue cheese? Is that different from the cheese I would pick up at whole foods? Scott

    A little late on this but....can I freeze my sausages immediately after stuffing?

    Thank you Al. Will do regarding letting them sit for a night in the fridge. I have another question somewhat related. I was thinking about making some andouille sausage which I know needs to be smoked. Have you heard of people smoking it on the offset smokers? Scott

    A little late on this but....can I freeze my sausages immediately after stuffing?

    I made a batch of Italian spicy sausage and stuffed it for the first time. I cooked some of it immediately and vacuum packed and froze the rest. I have, after the fact, read where you have to leave the sausage links in the fridge to dry out before freezing. Have I ruined this batch or is it...

    Finally settled on a new smoker

    This is a GStacks Custom Smoker from Norcal. It is a 48' offset reverse made with 3/8' steel. It takes a few to get up to temp in this weather but once it gets there it holds steady. About 1 split of wood every 45 minutes or so to keep her chuggin along. Did 4 racks of baby backs on Monday and...

    Has anyone here heard of or had any experience with GStacks Smokers out of Vallejo?

    I'm still in the market for a reverse flow stick burner. While looking for local pit makers GStacks came up. I can't find many reviews on them. The website looks legit and the smokers look like quality pieces. Just wandering if anyone has any first or second hand knowledge regarding their quality.

    Hello from Walnut Creek

    Hi all, I'm new tho the forum. I've been smoking on a couple BGE's for a few years now with mostly no complaints. Now however, I'm looking to take the plunge and get a horizontal offset. This is due mainly to capacity issues. Also I visited Austin last month and had some some incredible BBQ. So...

    Hello

    Hi all, Obviously new here. My name is Scott and I'm in the San Francisco Bay Area. I have a gasser and two BGE's. I am looking to make the next step and purchase a stick burner. After doing some research it appears the Lang's seem to have what I'm looking for but the shipping cost is about $600...
