    very little smoke

    At 9:07 it shows the perfect amount of smoke called TBS (thin blue smoke) If you want more pronounced smoke flavor add an Amaz-N pellet smoker.

    Flavor enhancers, go!

    The persistence of the Chinese restaurant syndrome myth is a symptom of the hypochondria that has become fashionable in contemporary Anglo-American culture, and the failure of our educational systems to teach people the difference between quackery and hard science.

    Flavor enhancers, go!

    This nonsense of the "Chinese Restaurant Syndrome" started in the 60's when some whiny little neurotic doctor had an anxiety attack after eating at a a C.

    There are non evaporative stalls--MY "EXPERIMENT"

    LOL----Beats the hell out of me too. I just have a feeling that Dr Blonder's upcoming tests will actually provide some information that will be useful and practical to us smoke hounds. If you guys miss the publication he has promised to send it to me and I will post it here.

    There are non evaporative stalls--MY "EXPERIMENT"

    There are non evaporative stalls--MY "EXPERIMENT"

    There are non evaporative stalls--MY "EXPERIMENT"

    Thanks Chef, You are right on. It was hard to pick the brisket up it was so soft and sme chunks fell off. Thanks, Of course I'm not advocating this method---but there may be some useful info in there.

    There are non evaporative stalls--MY "EXPERIMENT"

    Thanks Chef, Do you have an opinion as to the cause of the some what mushy texture? I wish it were possible to sample the meat periodically during the cook.
