    Refrigerator at ~41° F - Brisket & Duck Bacon

    I hate to have my first post a question and probably one that is asked a lot but there is a lot riding on this. I picked up a (beautiful) brisket at Restaurant Depot on Wednesday and immediately put it in my fridge. I went down there earlier today and noticed that there was a bit of a smell...

    Digging through the freezer for something to cook for dinner this weekend, when what to my wandering eyes did appear but a 1 pound package of brisket left over from a late summer smoke.

    Full packer Brisket for the game!

    17lb prime packer from Costco. Had been in my freezer a while so it was time. Woke up at 5am, got my 36” patio fired up with pecan splits. By 6am, I was ready to roll. After trimming, this beast was 13.5. My plan was hot and fast, keeping temps in the 275 range. I figured between 10-12 hrs...

    Sous Vide Brisket recipe?

    I'm really getting into the Sous Vide (Immersion) cooking. It's precision cooking and maintains a perfect temperature while cooking. You can even do it in a cooler. Does anyone have a recipe for Sous Vide first and smoking in a Masterbuilt electric smoker to finish? Times/Temps?

    Smoked Brisket

    This was my first attempt with brisket, something I've been drooling for. Used the texas style method, or as a recipe on Facebook called it. 11 hours at 225, wood chip mixture half hickory and half apple. Tasted fantastic at dinner tonight.

    Aerial Brisket

    Each year, my college buddies get together for a foot ball game. The only bad news is that it's in my hometown, Buffalo NY, and the team we watch is the Bills. This year, it will be extra rough, as we're doing the Monday night game against the Patriots... There will be drinking and crying...

    My first Brisket

    This is something I wanted to do for a long time. First, I want to thank Chris and 357mag for there advice. Okay, let’s get to it. This is the first time I’ve ever had brisket, so I have nothing to compare it to. With that being said, it reminded me of beef short ribs. The brisket took 16...

    Brisket On the New Pit Boss Copperhead 7 Series

    I bought a new Pit Boss Copperhead 7 Series smoker last weekend and was finally able to do the first smoke this weekend. I have 2 kids under 3, so I wanted a smoker that I wouldn't have to tend to quite as much, and this pellet smoker definitely allows for that. The brisket was a 14lbs packer...

    FIRE WENT OUT! Any advice for a "stop and start?"

    Folks I'm ashamed to say I let the vent on the bottom of my trusty Pit Barrel Smoker get loose (and told myself "I'll tighten up that screw later!" and oh boy, now it's later) and it slid shut last night in the middle of an overnight 12 lb. Brisket smoke. Woke up to a cold fire and a dry, cold...
