    Long brisket rest question

    I cooked a 12 lb (after trimming) brisket a few weeks ago and it ended up finishing way early. I pulled it off at 203° IT. I did the tried and true FTC method and held it for 6 hrs. When I went to slice it, it was still piping hot and I had difficulty getting slices because it wanted to just...

    Salt Pork Belly

    Looking at the pork list online for my local meat market for some pork belly to do burnt ends with. I see they have "salt pork belly." My question is are pork belly burnt ends made with cured or uncured belly?

    I Don't Say No to a Neighbor.

    Good neighbors are hard to beat. When my wife and I moved into our home 2 years ago I had the bright idea to back the U-Haul up right to the front porch. Everything was going fine until I hit a soft spot in the ground where some old trees were removed and the decaying roots had left a void in...

    Been Wanting To Do Some!

    Been wanting to do a batch of ABT's. Decided to give them a go on a whim. One batch was cream cheese, cheddar and sausage. The other batch of filling my wife made up and included cream cheese, cheddar, banana pepper, spinach and Valentina hot sauce. They were delicious! The possibilities are...

    New to smoking

    I would suggest a wireless setup with multiple probe options. Several good manufacturers out there. I have a basic 2 probe setup from Maverick. One probe monitors the meat and the other has clips where you can attach the probe so it sits right above your cooking grate so you get a true...

    New to smoking

    Is your thermometer accurate? If you were using the factory thermometer on your cooker, those can be way off and you may have been cooking hotter than you thought which could dry it out.

    New to smoking

    Sounds like you may be at the stall or close to it. I'd let it ride to build the bark you want then wrap. Or don't wrap if you've got the time.

    Best tasting briquettes?

    This is a sweet deal if you can find it in your local Walmart. Twin pack for $8.88!

    Jeff's Rub vs Meat Church

    I like good ol SnP on my beef personally. I do not like any sweet flavors to beef at all.

    Best tasting briquettes?

    My local Walmart only carries R.O. All Natural and Kingsford for name brand briquettes. I really like the R.O. All Natural, personally. But in my store it seems hit or miss whether it's in stock or not.

    Almost lost dinner

    Same here! Lol Everything he does always looks so amazing! The white sauce did not disappoint! I ended up making a separate batch with horseradish in it. I like horseradish but I like the sauce without better.

    Almost lost dinner

    Decided to try my hand at spatchcock chicken for dinner tonight. Everything went well until about 130° IT. I had just come back in from stirring the coal bed. About 10 minutes later I checked my wireless thermometer. Grate level temp reading 500°! Took a peek outside and smoke is pouring out of...

    Cast Iron Seasoning

    I have inherited my wife's grandfather's cast iron skillets. I used one of them a couple times and it seems to have lost it's seasoning. I have tried to re season using a thin layer of Crisco and heating in my oven but I just can't get it to get that glossy layer that comes from a well seasoned...

    8 Year Old Smokes Again - Chicken Legs

    Awesome! My son is 12 and thinks it's so cool that I have a smoker. Smoking meat together is our bonding time. He's getting pretty good at fire management. Tell your daughter the chicken looks awesome and she's earned a point!
