    My First Brisket

    Thank you very much! I used some of the left overs today. I cut in about half inch strips and cubed them up. I then make some clarified butter and simmer the cubed brisket in the clarified butter with about 5 cloves of fresh garlic. If you have never tried this it is absolutely delicious...

    Thank you!! Feel like I got a little Redemption since my ribs and pork butt didn't turn out exactly the way I wanted. I could not be happier though with how this brisket came out. Really appreciate all the advice and pointers I got from everyone here.

    The brisket smoked for just iver 9 hours. It has a nice smoke ring and is super moist & tender. Let it rest for 2 hours. I smoked the brisket for just over 9 hours. It is really moist & tender with a nice smoke ring.

    My First Brisket

    Hey guys on my way in from work I picked up a 15 pound Packer brisket from Walmart for around $47. I know they probably don't have the best meat but unfortunately I am on a budget. I watched Aaron Franklin's YouTube video on how to trim and prepare the brisket and followed his steps closely. I...

    First Pork Butt

    Absolutely some awesome pointers I very much appreciate it. And I will definitely give that sauce a try. I plan on trying another pork butt maybe next weekend when I'm off so I will definitely take these tips into consideration and apply them to my next smoke.

    First Pork Butt

    100% ! I have watched many of the videos on his channel on YouTube "how to BBQ right." I like how he breaks things down and shows you the entire process. I will definitely keep at it that's for sure it is just discouraging that I'm not getting the results I'm looking for.

    I'm planning on smoking some fatties this Sunday. Next pork butt I'm going to go for one atleast 6-7lbs. I'll keep at it until I get it right.

    First Pork Butt

    I bought non galvanized expanded metal from the Home Depot. And then two pieces of angle iron 3/4 inch. I made my fire box 12 x 13 in 6 inches high oh, that is plenty of room and it is easy to get in and out of the Firebox. My smoke is coming along very well I have been holding a very consistent...

    First Pork Butt

    Your good, I have a fully stocked pantry full of spices. I cooked professionally for many years so I always keep a fully stocked kitchen. Smoking meat though is different than grilling, saute, etc. Getting that smoke flavor profile and that proper bark is a different beast. I'm always open...
