    Brisket Flat

    Definitely a nice piece with a good bend. Perhaps I'm not seeing something? It is "smooth" fat side up and does not have the point "flap". To your point, could it still have a part of the point attached?

    Brisket Flat

    7 lb flat in the smoker. Got tired of trying to find a packer cut. Trying a basic Texas rub. Kosher salt, pepper, onion and garlic powder, parsley, oregano, chili powder and sugar. In at 6:30/250* - will start checking IT at 9:30.

    Tri Tip

    Came great! Next time though - Texas "brisket" style. Just salt and pepper.

    Tri Tip

    Did move the probe. Slightly lower reading. Right now at 115*. Think we'll be ok.

    Tri Tip

    In for less than an hour IT is already at 107* Concerned that an hour at 325* is going to make shoe leather.

    Tri Tip

    Tell me about it! I remember growing up in NY when skirt steak was considered a "throw away". Those in the industry knew better!! Still my favorite cut of steak. Especially when marinated in garlic and olive oil and then seared to perfection!

    Tri Tip

    One thing that surprised me. Roast very moist when I removed the sarran wrap. Was expecting it to be dry.

    Tri Tip

    First try at a Tri Tip (a little under 2#). Olive oil and a good Texas rub, in the fridge for 24 hrs. Coming up to room temp now. Will go in the smoker for an hour at 180*. Second hour at 325*. Target temp for resting is 135*. Thoughts - suggestions? Keeping my fingers crossed!

    Baby Backs

    Thanks all! Oldsmoker - I would think the extra time needed due to the lower temp, keeping the ribs in a "smoke environment" longer, made a difference (I will defer to those with much more experience). One thing I did notice is a lot less residual smoke with the Smokin Bros blend. Definitely a...

    Baby Backs

    Did Baby Backs at 220* instead of 225-235* (have done them at both temps). 3 - 1&1/2 - 1. Total time 5 1/2 hrs. Without question, the best ribs yet. Oh by the way..used Smokin Bros Apple & Hickory pellets.

    Temp Drop

    Makes sense. Just never noticed it.

    Temp Drop

    Quick update - temp just fluctuated between 224* and 235*. Fan sounds normal although I do seem to be getting more residual smoke than usual.

    Temp Drop

    This is a bit concerning! Ribs on at 235*. Twice now the temp has dropped down to 218* before recovering. The second time (not sure about the first) came just after spritzing. Cover not open that long and I don't think its happened in the past. Next spritz at 2:30. Will watch for a drop then...

    Pellet Storage

    I use the orange 5 gal bucket available at Home Depot. What I really like is the black lid that you can purchase with it. The lid snaps down tight and then you screw off the inner lid. Working great in hot, humid rainy season South Florida.

    Exploding Grill?

    Am I oversimplifying it or is the solution to always keep the hopper full.
