    Brisket Cooking - with Q View

    I am smoking a brisket for a out of town party this weekend. I dont want to stay up all night smoking (the party location may or may not have a smoker). My plan was to smoke the brisket at home on Wednesday with aged oak until I got up to around 140 or 150 degrees. Then I would cool it down...

    Is everyone a bbq expert? What is the craziest BBQ advice someone has told you and what did you say?

    I went to pick up a couple of briskets at a local place in town (my church has a credit card with this place so I have to go there for church bbq functions). All they had was select briskets. When I asked if they have any choice or higher briskets the meat manager gets real defensive and starts...

    Prime Brisket Story

    I went to Costco today to look for meat. It was my first time in the meat department. I looked at briskets and saw they had amazing looking choice packers for $2.39 lb and prime packers for $2.69 lb. I thought prime was really hard to find and really expensive. As I looked at the meat in awe I...

    Brisket Problem

    I am cooking brisket for a small party (40 people 6pm Friday). I smoked the 3 - 10 pound briskets last night for 6 hours at 225, then I foiled them up and stuck them in the oven at 225 for 4 more hours (10 hours total). The plan was to cook them 3/4 of the way, fridge them and then warm the back...

    Lots of food on the NBBD - Cooking Time Question

    This weekend I am smoking two 11 pound briskets and 4 racks of ribs ( on a rib rack with about one inch spacing). I have a NBBD and have never cooked this much food on it.
