Internal temperature question
Thanks guys - I guess it's hard for me to rationalize cooking beef to 200 degrees. but as you say - it needs to get tender. I'm new at this smoking stuff and still learning! -
Internal temperature question
Seems like everybody here goes by the internal temperature to know when a brisket is done - but I'm confused about the numbers. The common wisdom is to take it up to 165 degrees, then foil it and take it up to 195 degrees. But every meat thermometer I've sen says that 165 is when the meat is... -

Marinade or inject?
Okay - dinner is finished! Let's see: into the heat at 10:45 am - it hit 157 degrees at 4:30 pm so I took them off for foiling: Then I put them back in for about 1/2 hour; then out ant into a nice blanket for their nap. They stayed wrapped in the blanket for an hour, then it was time to... -

Marinade or inject?

Marinade or inject?
So, we went to Smart&Final today and picked up 2 hunks of brisket - a 3-lb flat and a 3-lb point that I'm going to be heating up tomorrow. But I've got a couple of questions: Since these are two pieces of meat should I use the total weight to figure out an approximate time for smoking, or since... -
How did you come up with your screen name?
My name came from a truck I had - back in 1999 when Ford came out with the Superduty line we bought an F450 Crew Cab to tow a large fifth wheel. Since Dodge didn't make a truck with a GVWR of 15K lbs and a GCWR of 26K lbs the plate I put on the truck was "RAM KILR" ... Alan Hepburn San Jose, Ca- ramkilr

Supermarket Brisket - I was desperate!
The first brisket I smoked was one of those - bought at a local Costco, but was the flat only, with almost no fat, other than the marbling. It was a small one, weighing in at 2.77 lbs - I didn't want to ruin a large piece of meat on my first attempt so I bought a small piece! I marinated it... -

Real basic brisket questions
I'm a total rookie here, and haven't found answers through searching, so I thought I'd ask some really basic questions here: 1. I've seen the terms "flat" and "point" - what do they mean? 2. My local source (Smart& Final store) sells their brisket already packaged - what is the best size to...- ramkilr

For those of you in the San Jose, Ca area - the Smart&Final on Hillsdale Ave has several briskets in their meat aisle right now; they're 10-15 lbs and are priced at $1.79 per lb...
