    4 July Brisket and CharGriller 980 review update

    Hi and I posted a perhaps an overlong review of a Char-Griller 980 2 years ago or so. I did a brisket on this 4th for a crowd of 12 and thought I would update that review via what I think was a successful brisket cook description. I began with a 14 lb USDA prime full packer brisket. I trimmed...

    Another ‘my smoker died question’

    Hey there, Brand new here. Just read through all of the threads about smokers dying and people like me desperately hoping they could still eat tonight. Found some very useful info that included ‘ all surface bacteria dies after 30-60 or less @ 225 ‘ . I’m close here so looking for a little...

    Smoker went out during overnight brisket cook - HELP (in-laws in town 🤣 )

    I had a brisket on my smoker for an overnight cook and my smoker cut off in the middle of the night due to a power flicker during a storm that popped up 😡 . Checked the pellet hopper when I got to the smoker and it was still 90% full. Fire pot had been cleaned right before the cook. Grease trap...

    Can you cook a beef roast partway in the oven, and finish in the smoker?

    Hi all, newbie here. I'm going to be out of town over Christmas and trying to logistically figure out how to have a partially smoked beef roast on Christmas Eve without an actual smoker where we are going to be eating. :emoji_laughing: We are having the dinner at my mom's, and my uncle has a...

    Smoked brisket butcher paper ripped renderings lost

    Hi! I’m new to the forum and we’re having a thanksgiving emergency. My wife is smoking a brisket (7 lbs from Costco) and it hit temperature after the 13 hours. As she was trying to get it off the smoker, the butcher paper ripped and we lost a lot of juices. She’s freaking out thinking it’s...

    General question about brisket and internal temperature

    I have about 10 years of experience as a Pit Barrel Cooker (PBC) owner, but my results smoking briskets has always been very hit or miss. The guidance I've had suggests that once it reaches somewhere in the 200-205F range internal, then it's time to pull it and let it rest (wrapped, of course)...

    Fire went out on Brisket - not sure when, doh!

    Hey y’all!! I was smoking a ~10lb brisket overnight and woke up to no fire (I ran out of fuel like a dope). I estimate the fire ran for no less than 4 hours, possibly up to 8 hours set at 225 degrees. It’s snowing here in Colorado so when I woke up internal temp was 85 degrees, there was a good...

    4th of July Brisket (My 2nd Attempt at Brisket)

    Had a prime brisket for my second try at brisket. The first go went well, everyone enjoyed it, but I knew it could be improved on. On the first attempt I tried a rub that I personally ended up not caring for, so for this second one, I decided to go with a more (Texas) traditional style, even...

    Brisket

    Well, wanted to try a new method for brisket. The “hot hold method” that is. So… Choice packer brisket. A little disappointed it came out of the vac seal with a weird chunk cut out of the point. Trimmed. My secret rub no binder (just salt and pepper for me as I love the taste of brisket and...

    Looking for some first-time Smoker-brisket feedback..

    I'm more of a pork-guy - but decided to give my first brisket a try. Gotta admit - I'm not too happy with the results. Any thoughts what to try next time appreciated: I thought I went pretty straightforward: basic S/P-OP-GP mix let it sit in the fridge for a few hours. Then let it come up to...
