    How should i layer wood chunks in a Big green egg type smoker?

    Hi everyone, Im going to be cooking a beef tenderloin soon on my Primo Ceramic smoker, and will be using wood chunks for the first time. I was wondering what ratio of wood chunks to charcoal i should use? Is Half charcoal, Half wood chunks a good ratio? Or would that be too much wood? Thanks

    For those of you that rest brisket wrapped in towels, do you find that it softens the bark?

    Do you find that the towels are necessary? Or do you just leave them in a cooler?

    For those of you that rest brisket wrapped in towels, do you find that it softens the bark?

    Following Aaron Franklins video for first ever brisket. How much water should i put in the bowl?

    I think i might just try it with no water tray or anything for my first cook then, and start experimenting with trays/spritzing and stuff in future cooks.

    On the package it says 13.5 lbs, and i think its already trimmed a bit. I've never trimmed a brisket before, but im guessing it should be around 13 pounds once its ready. Its also a wagyu brisket, not sure if that makes a difference though.

    Following Aaron Franklins video for first ever brisket. How much water should i put in the bowl?

    Yea ive noticed that a lot of people prefer spritzing and/or mopping. In his video he mentions both of those options as well, this just seems like an easier place to start than opening up frequently to spritz/mop. Do you guys think a bowl filled with about 8 cups of water would be good? I want...
