    First Brisket

    Ok so... I will never again use brown sugar. Eric, you were correct. It tasted fine but wasn't right. The brisket was fine but not enough bark. Not sure what I did wrong. It was very tender, had agood smoke flavor, but a little dry even for injecting. Next time no injecting. All-in-all not...

    First Brisket

    So far looking pretty good. Got the temp to 166 and it stalled. Put it in foil and mopped it. It's back in and climbing. Once it hits 195 I'm going to take it out of the foil and put back on the rack. So far not much bark so I think I'll turn up the heat for that last hour and see what it can...

    Went on at 330 MST. I'm going back to bed for a little bit.

    Eric, this place hasn't let me down as of yet. I do think I'm going to change the chips to hickory. I was worried about the sugar but went with it because of the size, lower temp and the fact it will get WIF'd. I'm hoping the brown sugar gives me a little bark.

    Good point guys; I think I will open grate it until the stall. I forgot I added brown sugar to the paste too.

    First Brisket

    Well fellas it's time to step up my game; I'm doing my first brisket. It's just a 5.6 pound flat but we are also doing a crawfish boil and a pot of jambalaya. Plan is to put the brisket on at 4am at 220* fat up and in a pan until it hits around 165* or stalls out. Once there I'll mop it with...

    My First Smoke; Chucks.

    Ok that works for me. Well I must say not too bad. Both pulled very easy and was just as tender as any other I have ever had. Good smoke flavor on both the meat and the ABTs and the family loved it.

    My First Smoke; Chucks.

    The ABTs look great however the chuck in foil would not push over 200. I had the smoker at 250 and pushed it to 275 to offset the amount of ABTs I put in. I finally pulled them off and have them resting I the cooler right now. They are very tender as the probe sliced through them but it never...

    My First Smoke; Chucks.

    Got the to 165 and now WIF'd. Sprayed with Apple juice and put back in. I'll wait to about 190 to start the jalapeños. I really hope they turn out.

    My First Smoke; Chucks.

    Well the time has arrived and the two Chucks are on. Set the MES to 250 at 900 and put the meat on at 1000. Looking to get 165 the WIF and put back in until 205-210. Pulled beef is what I'm shooting for. I noticed I wasn't getting a lot of smoke out of her, and understand that you want a thin...

    First Attempt; What Beef to Select.

    But wait...reading is fundamental and this forum is great! Found you have have to use both the temp and the timer. It is 930 at night and it starting to season. Time to rub the chuck.

    First Attempt; What Beef to Select.

    Well I guess it will have to wait until next weekend boys; the heating element in my smoker won't heat up. :icon_evil:and I'm over pissed. At least Bass Pro has stated I can bring it back tomorrow since they are expecting a new shipment tomorrow morning. I'll season it tomorrow but I guess I'll...
