    Jambo Backyard w/ LSG Fire Basket

    I’ve been using my Jambo Backyard for years. I don’t use a firebox for management. Only need to add one or two skinny splits to keep the temperature tight. This smoker puts out the best flavor meat. I keep the exhaust damper open just enough for a finger. If the wind is blowing to the left you...

    Trust your nose. Give Creekstone a call. A lot of time and effort goes into smoking meat.

    Trying to decide on a new offset

    I have a Big Green Egg XL model. With a growing family with in-laws and grandchildren I decided to purchase a Jambo Backyard model. I decided against the reverse flow and rubber wheels.

    Franklin's recommended brisket temp and times

    Cooked meat in my Alto-Shaam on hold mode keeps the internal temperature of the meat about 10 degrees less than the setting. A setting of 165 will hold the meat at 155. I read somewhere that Aaron Franklin keeps his wrapped meats on cooling racks until the internal temperature drops low enough...

    Brisket

    Sounds like it didn't cook long enough to tenderize it and the internal temperature wasn't high enough to break down the fat. I had a smoke like that once where I pulled by the thermometers with your results.

    Should I sear my beef ribs before I smoke them?

    I decided not to sear the ribs and I'm glad I didn't. They were very juicy due to the fat content. I'm still waiting for my pictures to post from yesterday. . When your'e new they hold them for awhile. You can see in the pictures how moist they are. I also keep trays of water under the meat...
