    Cause(s) for briskets tasting like pot-roast?

    I feel fat content is crucial. I have had some brisket that was trimmed way back and bam...pot roast it is :-) I would say some of the best briskets I have made were Packers that I did not even trim. Another factor is "to wrap" or not "to Wrap"...if you do wrap, make sure it is tight...double...

    Pit Boss at Menards

    What a great idea! I will have to try it! Looks like Amazon has Cheng Concrete Wax (which is pure carnuba) for $24 A couple of other mods I can see are: 1. going to try to reuse some of the shelves I have saved over the years...if I can get the holes to match up :-) we will see. most likely...

    Pit Boss at Menards

    So I pulled the trigger on the 820 from Menards. It was tax free weekend (and even though I didnt get free tax, Menards gave me 11% off)...I put it together on Sunday (easy assembly) and seasoned her up good. Last night I cooked hamburgers and they turned out great...Seared them for a few min...

    Thank you...I stopped by our local Menards (which is funny, it is right across the street from Acadamy Sports) and looked that the 820 they have...they have 11 in stock. Now I need to decide if it is worth it to get the Deluxe edition (which is what Acadamy Sports sells). From what I can see...

    Pit Boss at Menards

    It wasn't listed anywhere on their site for Store-to-Store or Ship-To-Store. When you choose shipping, its pretty much freight to your house. I am going to call the local store though...See if I can get an ETA on when they will get some in stock and if they would consider shipping from a...

    See that is what I am thinking...cheaper to just drive out and snag one...and then I dont have to wait for the freight shipping! Thanks, I am excited!

    Pit Boss at Menards

    Awesome...Now the hard part...finding them in stock :-) Menards only has the 820, not the 820 deluxe (although honestly, the only difference is the copper lid, the side tray, and the solid shelf underneath...but I kinda want that solid shelf. Acadamy Sports has them for $499, but out of stock...

    10lb Brisket

    A lot of time I separate the point after I pull the brisket off the smoker and only wrap the flat in a towel and place into a cooler for a couple of hours....While the flat is resting and redistributing the juices, I cut the point up into 2-3 inch cubes in a pan. I throw some more rub on it, and...

    First brisket

    Yep I agree with SmokinAI, for a long smoke the mesquite might be too much. And don't fear the plateau! when it hits 160 degrees and sits there for what seems like an eternity! just let her figure herself out! that's when all the magic starts to happen :-) Good luck and look forward to some QView!

    Pit Boss at Menards

    Hello folks, man its seems like its been forever since I posted, and looks like it has haha...need to get on here more often! So I have a rookie question...I am at a point where I am looking at a new grill...prior to this, I have had gas grills. With the temps on the Pit Boss 820 able to get to...

    I call it the 20/20 Charcoal basket...

    Great Tutorial!!! I will say, you learn a ton just building one of these...The next one is for the Smoker, so it will look a bit more polished! Going to give the old grill a bit more life by ripping out the guts and adding this basket!
