    "Time Delay" Brisket

    I've done a few Briskets in the past, but I have a situation here I'm trying to solve. Having friends over for lunch...Noon, 1:00. I'd like to have the brisket ready to slice when they arrive. I'm thinking to smoke it the day before. Get it up to 200˚, then keep it in the oven overnight...

    Ink-Bird IRF-2S Replacement probe needed

    I have the 2 probe model...it's about 2-3 years old. Last brisket I did, the "Air" temperature probe did not work. I cleaned it off again (as I do after every smoke) but it still did not work. The meat probe worked fine. I just tested both in boiling water. Meat probe is accurate, air...

    New Kamado grill questions

    I bought a Char Griller Kamado Grill about 5 years ago, for about $250.00. LOVED IT. Smoked great briskets & pork shoulders, did a great job searing/grilling steaks, a great multi-purpose grill. However, the seams are starting to leak, and the kettle is starting to rust...bad. So I'm looking...

    Been smoking for 5-6 years or so. Having trouble getting my Brisket done the way I want. The last one (yesterday) was the 1st time I used Butcher Paper instead of foil to wrap. Akorn Kettle Smoker. I use a pizza pan under the grate as a diffuser. I always separate the flat from the point...

    Brisket Points

    Good day all, I smoked a couple briskets over the holiday season.  Served the flats, saved the points.  Wrapped well & froze them.  They were smoked for about 4 hours, after being cut off the flat. What's the best way to prepare them after thawed? Cube and make burnt ends? Put them in the...
