    Botched My Brisket

    I’m with the other guys, but if you wanted some more opinion...for me I’d have wrapped in foil. Going to hot and fast generally means you don’t have the breakdown you’re looking for. So I’d wrap and if you need that bark you can finish off without wrap to firm it back up

    My First Brisket

    Its already been said, but I think 202/203 is the best IT for a brisket. Also the temp doesn't drive the tenderness only the "doneness" I think you can slow it down to 225-250. I also like to wrap in Aluminum foil after about hour 4, you get plenty of smoke flavor in it and it will help break...

    Upgrading Smoker suggestions

    I completely understand the situation you are in and whole-heartedly recommend a Komodo like Komado Joe or Vision Grills. The guys lock in a temp perfectly, conserve fuel, and don't mind if its breezy or cold. I adjust my lower damper maybe twice in a full 12-15 hr brisket cook, but if even...

    Thinking of a new smoker

    I believe bark to based mostly on air flow, more air = more bark. With that said I'm digging my knock off Big Green Egg from Vision Grills. I get more bark on my brisket than I prefer so I usually finish the last 5 hours or so in foil. If you're not quite sold there are some good and cheap...

    Wifi thermometers

    I’m a fan of the meater I only have the one probe myself but they have the block in that link. It’s a solid, reliable system and you could have 1 ambient foor each food item.

    Temp probes that can handle higher temps

    I use Meater every single time. They say the probe can go to 600 and change and I can attest to roughly that same temp when I do some thick steaks. Some of my cheaper probes may have held up from a sensor standpoint but they begin falling apart immediately.

    Pellet smokers have irregular cook temps

    Thats frustrating for sure. I use a Komado myself so I don’t deal with the issue but I’ve seen others... the first suggestion is to put more heat mass in the grill, like a few bricks. This will help smooth out the peaks and valleys a bit and will also help in times of strong breeze or lid...

    Just need a push to end this work thing!

    Sorry Brian but the advantage plans are garbage and you give up ALL Medicare benefits. It looks like a halfway decent price but as you discovered drs won’t take it (most anyway) and the potential out of pocket expense is bankruptable.

    New-ish

    Hey crew! I'm Charles from Alabama. I got into smoking meat with a Masterbuilt propane (don't hate me) and made some pretty good stuff. I'm since moved on to my Vision Grills Komado which I LOVE! I got into KCBS competition with a few of my buddies in 2019 and began making progress on the...

    New to the world of Smoking......

    Welcome Bill! Those pellets sure do make it easy and can take away from of the standard newbie frustrations, good buy! To get even more familiar with the process and share the fun I recommend a wifi enabled thermometer. There are several good brands but I'm digging my Meater

    New Kamado grill questions

    I bought the Vision grill which is a very good Komado here: Vision Grills but I bought my brother in law the cheaper Akorn because I didn't know if he'd get into the "sport" as much as me and its doing really well too...heck of a discount from BGE Akorn

    Reliable wireless/bluetooth thermometer with logging app

    I'm digging my Meater thermometer, I don't have the long range version but the bluetooth still gets through my Green Egg and about 20ft inside the house. Also enables you to share the cook in real time which is fun to do with my competition team: https://amzn.to/3njpsQ9
