    Social Distancing Smoking

    Looks good. How does that compare to steak cooked on a grill? You prefer this?

    Social Distancing Smoking

    Since I've got to spend a lot of time at home, figured I may as well smoke some meat more often, I'll be smoking a brisket tomorrow, but can't have guests over to share it. My bbq buddy asked me to leave some with him. Will probably freeze a chunk for later.

    Pellet Grill in the Rain

    And of course remember to keep your pellets dry. I point my exhaust openings away from the wind too

    Pellet Grill in the Rain

    This happened to me earlier. I picked up some shading from Walmart for a reasonable price

    Pulled lamb

    According to my research the leg won’t hsve enough fat so it may come out too dry.

    Pulled lamb

    Thankyou! That looks so good. Wonder why they said to score the top of it. Now I need to find lamb shoulder!

    Pulled lamb

    Me too! Actually I visited Hometown BBQ in Brooklyn today and had "lamb belly" (which is actually lamb breast)... that was extremely good, and reminded me that I had to try cook the pulled lamb

    Pulled lamb

    Has anyone made pulled lamb before? My friend had it in Austin... said it was really good. Can't find any recipes online surprisingly. Thanks in advance!

    17lb brisket tomorrow

    Thanks! Started at 225 for 2hours then increased to 250. I turned it back down to 225 for the last 2 hours.

    17lb brisket tomorrow

    So it turned out better than expected. I was a little scared cause it reached temperature after just 11 hours. I served the point during dinner and everyone was really impressed. Got many compliments including from my fellow bbq fan friend. It was extremely moist. I don’t think I seasoned it...

    17lb brisket tomorrow

    I had it in what I thought was the thickest part of the point. I also borrowed my friends thermapen and tried that in a few spots... reading was fairly consistent

    17lb brisket tomorrow

    Thanks for the advice all. Brisket is cooking... will keep you posted. I hadn't heard about that smoke tube. Seems like a good idea, although a little pricey at $20+ for a single use(?)

    17lb brisket tomorrow

    Thanks for the advice guys. I'll start at 250 for a few hours to get a smokey flavor, and then bump up to 275

    17lb brisket tomorrow

    Thanks... I'm often reluctant to turn up the temps when I smoke but you're right... I guess I don't have a choice here. I also do plan on spritzing it every 90min or so, so hopefully that helps keep it moist.

    17lb brisket tomorrow

    Hey everyone, I went to Sams Club today to pick up a brisket for tomorrow since my mom is visiting... unfortunately they only had a 17lb one left. So my original plan (when I was thinking of getting a smaller one) was to start at 5AM, since I want to serve food around 7PM. Is this even...

    Another dry brisket thread... details and questions

    The biggest difference was the meat. Before I was using a "standard grade" flat. This time I had a USDA prime full packer (which was double the weight) Apart from that, I think that there were just 2 differences: -only seasoned last minute, before putting it on the smoker. Was afraid that the...

    Another dry brisket thread... details and questions

    Finally was able to pick up a full packer brisket from Costco (15lb USDA Prime). Cooked it for about 11hrs yesterday @ 225, and it turned out much better than the 1st time. Much more moist inside. The only issue I had this time was with the slicing! My knife didn't handle it very well, so got...

    Smoke meat and cancer?

    My wife was recently telling me to smoke less meat because of the health concerns. Just got my smoker at the start of the summer, and at my peak, I was smoking meat once a week. She was concerned about the health impacts (whole family was eating the meat, including the kids), so I've agreed to...
