    Second go at brisket, questions about doing 2 at a time.

    Only have done one brisket, but I found with the electric smokers that they seem to do a better job at managing the heat and take a lot less time to cook. I will find out more tomorrow as I am doing brisket #2... and 3? Gotta cut it in half just to get it to fit into my smoker. Got a 30"...

    First Brisket

    I wrapped mine after it got to 206 then put in a roaster pan because I didn't have a cooler handy. Mine never developed a "bark". Maybe because I was flipping it every 2 hours?

    First Brisket

    Brisket done early. Guess we have brisket sandwiches for lunch. 4.5 hours earlier than I expected. Next time I will cook at 225.

    Brisket cooking time

    At what point do you wrap in foil? And do you actually put ice in the cooler to cool it down?

    First Brisket

    It on smoker reads about 180. My new temp probe reads 173. Time to wrap?

    First Brisket

    Coming along nicely. About 4.5 hours in at about 250*. Looks good now. Little worried it will be burnt by 10.5 hours. So I wrap in foil after cooking to 190-195 or 170, wrap, and keep cooking til 195?

    First Brisket

    Btw, I used an apple chipotle brine from cabelas and soaked it for 24 hours, then took it out and used cabelas general purpose rub / seasoning with cabelas brisket rub. Let then sit on it about 7 hours(overnight) til I got it out and stuck it in the smoker at 4am. Added 10ozs of Apple juice to...

    First Brisket

    Thanks for all the info chef jimmyj, I do appreciate the help! I am cooking brisket now so next time I do ribs I'll try the 3-2-1 method. Gotta find it on here. Is it a sticky somewhere? Up at 3 am to preheat smoker then brisket went in at 4.

    Getting started with a Masterbuilt (many questions)

    Not sure what amnps stands for but I googled it and I went to amazon where it comes up as a pellet tray for smokers. Costs about 35-40 dollars and will provide smoke for up to about 8 hours without having to add. I just bought a new mes 30" and the thermometer was all over the place so I don't...

    First Brisket

    Okay, got another question for someone...                  I am waking up early to preheat my smoker and stick the Brisket in. I want to use apple chips and Jack Daniels' wood chips. I also would like to keep it as moist as possible so I am cooking it in a foil pan and want to use some apple...

    7 pound Brisket... HELP!!!

    I am doing the same size Brisket tomorrow. I am guessing about 1.5 hours a pound so about 10-11 hours at about 225-250*. I am looking to use Apple and Jack Daniels' wood chips for mine. Good luck! Did you soak your Brisket in a brine solution, or inject it? Are you using a rub too?

    First Brisket

    I have the mes 30" with window. Basically new. Cooked some baby back ribs a couple weeks ago with it. Figured it should have taken me about 5.5 hours and it went an extra hour before I gave up and pulled them out. I only got them up to about 190-195. They seemed to hang there in temp and we were...

    First Brisket

    Does that time take into account the temp drop when I first put in the brisket? That seems to be the biggest task with smoking so far is keeping the temp up. I am used to my gas grill so it preheats in a couple mins. The smoker takes an hour just to preheat! Lol then it's like sticking an ice...

    First Brisket

    Boneless Skinless chix breasts-smoked

    Thanks for the reply. I was reading other posts that said it was taking them 2-3 hours. Wasn't sure if it was for chix breasts or whole chix or what. I am buying the breasts from my butcher already seasoned with lemon pepper. I am just looking to do a quick smoke to add some more flavor rather...
