    Smoking brisket advice please.

    I always recommend trimming a whole packer where you remove the thin portion of the flat like the following image. This will cut down the size of a brisket quite a bit AND will help ensure it cooks more evenly without losing that thin meat to burning/drying up. This may help you cut down the...

    does putting rub on the outside of a pork butt stop any of the smoke flavor from entering the meat

    Hi there and welcome! I'm in the camp of pour the rub/seasoning on. For pork butts I do this thing that was a total game changer for me. I flip the pork butt meat side up and then cut down like cutting it half until I hit the bone and I stop so it's still one whole cut of meat. I then can...

    Got Stuffer Ordered now need Casings and Recipe

    Ah ok Fresh is simpler. It sounds to me like you just want to mix it up, stuff, link & cut, then vacuum seal to grill or even smoke another day. I do this with my Brats that are "fresh" (no cure) and with my cured Franks. I rarely smoke my Franks as they are amazing just thrown on the grill...

    Got Stuffer Ordered now need Casings and Recipe

    What type of sausages you looking to start with? Fresh or cured & smoked? As for castings I've used the 32mm (or in that range) natural hog casings from Lem, The Sausage Maker, and Syracuse and never had an issue when prepping them properly but would avoid the home packs that come in the...

    Smoking brisket advice please.

    @SmokinEdge brings up some good points. I would heavily recommend waiting until an IT of 180F before saucing if you were going to do it. If you wrap or cover briskets too early, you will end up with roast beef flavor instead of smoked beef bbq brisket flavor. So the longer you wait, the...

    Smoking brisket advice please.

    Oh bbq sauce at that point. I'm of no help there, I never sauce in the smoker, only at the table. I also never separate my flat and point muscles since the flat muscle is such a pain in the butt, especially alone. I would need to wrap my flat where the point doesn't. I also don't wrap my whole...

    On the Edge of Trying Sausage Making

    I think you will be good to start with that setup. I'm not sure what surface you will be doing this on (kitchen table?) but be sure you have a pair of clamps that will clamp that stuffer to the working surface without worry of marking up the surface (like if using a kitchen table). You will...

    Smoking brisket advice please.

    If you are just trying to have a little meal or snack, I would cut this flat piece off when you pull it out of the smoker and then do your plan to wrap, hold, refrigerate, or whatever you land on. It's not uncommon to want to eat on a little piece once you pull it from the smoker :D
