    First Old Country brisket

    I cooked my first brisket on the Pecos Saturday. It took three trips to different grocery stores to find a decent packer that wasn’t an $86 Prime cut, but I ended up with a Choice-grade brisket just shy of 12 pounds before trimming. Based on weight, I was anticipating an 11- or 12-hour cook...

    End-of-summer smoked burgers

    It was "end of summer" in that our kids started school the next day. Believe me, I'm not planning on shutting down "The Money Pit" anytime soon. ;-)

    End-of-summer smoked burgers

    What better way to say goodbye to summer than with some good smoked hamburgers? For the kids' last night before kicking off their new school year, I mixed four pounds of 90 percent lean ground beef with a little better than a half-pound of bacon and added two tablespoons of Weber Gourmet Burger...

    First mediocre outcome -- what went wrong?

    I appreciate the kind words and support, guys. To answer a question a couple of you raised, no, it didn't taste more smoky to me the next day. And, the family (who weren't out tending the cooker with me) also noted a lack of smoke flavor Saturday. Jcam, I've thought about reducing my temp to...

    First mediocre outcome -- what went wrong?

    Yes, everything was good, even the general flavor. It just didn’t really taste smoked.

    First mediocre outcome -- what went wrong?

    I pulled at 135, wrapped in foil and rested for about 20-25 minutes. It was two pieces. I (apparently mistakenly) thought a single Linn has been split into two pieces, so I wrapped them together.

    First mediocre outcome -- what went wrong?

    Saturday afternoon, my wife, ahem, informed me she wasn't cooking dinner and that I would be smoking pork loin and 10 pounds of chicken leg quarters that evening for dinner. The good news: my wife actually *wanted* me to run the smoker. The bad news: the meat she wanted me to smoke was FROZEN...

    New Pecos biscuit test

    I’ve no doubt I’ll eventually add tuning plates to the stack end to even it out, but for now, it’s good.

    New Pecos biscuit test

    So, even though I've already got a couple of cooks under my belt with the new Pecos, I decided to use the little bit of wood and lump I had left sitting around to run a biscuit test so I could see where my hot spots are in the cook chamber. I'm running the factory firebox plate as a makeshift...

    Best first offset smoke?

    Except for an unexpected afternoon downpour that caught just enough of my firebox to cause a temporary fall in temperatures, Saturday's smoke went very well. I started with a boneless butt, then added some spare ribs about two hours later. I started out by getting a good fire going using lump...

    Best first offset smoke?

    I've been smoking everything from bacon to briskets to veggies for years, but I recently picked up my first offset smoker. I'd planned to fire it up this weekend and load in some pork spare ribs I found in a raid on the kitchen, but by foolishly announcing my plans I started a family smoke war...

    Talking about grilling with smoke, hot temps

    I started throwing hickory chunks in with anything I grill a couple of years ago. It makes a huge difference. My family doesn't know what changed, but they sure did notice the pop of new flavors!

    Greetings from Texas

    I've been a longtime lurker, watching this site for tips and ideas for my outdoor cooks for years. This week, a belated birthday present saw a new Old Country Pecos follow me home from Academy. Years ago, I began smoking on a horizontal Brinkmann hexagonal grill. I can't recall the product...
