    Alternative to finishing brisket in oven

    There are many posts about starting a brisket on the smoker and finishing it in the oven. How about doing it the another way. I want to have a brisket ready for 4 in the afternoon. Starting the fire a 3 am and tending it for the next 12 hours is tough. Is there any reason why I couldn't...

    Minion method smoke ring.

    Yesterday I smoked a 10lb packers brisket on my new Father’s Day smoker (Weber 18.5” bullet smoker). I used the minion method with four decent sized chunks of mesquite wood mixed in the coals. The brisket turned out pretty well, it was a 14 hour cook finishing at 207F. The issue I had was the...

    Brisket - to slather or not to slather? That is the question

    I will be smoking a gorgeous 12-pound brisket for Father's Day next weekend. I've made a kick-ass rub that I've used before and the brisket came out perfect (see attached pics). I've read a few articles about using a simple yellow mustard slather prior to adding the rub and wanted to get the...

    I've been busy learning the ins and outs of running my Bell Fab, spending as many free weekend days and weekday nights as I can building fires and testing methods.

    Brisket frustration

    My brisket tastes smokeless. It’s the third time I smoked a brisket, and it came out tasting smokeless just like my first other twos. For this third cook I decided to throw in a rack of spare ribs to make sure there was no problem with my smoker or wood, and the ribs came out great (tender and...

    Brisket Choice

    My wife went to Costco the other day and bought me this brisket. I don't have the ability to smoke it and all of the fat cap has been cut away so it would more then likely come out dry like the last one. So, I'm wondering what my choices are, could use some advice. My first thought was...

    Brisket

    I smoked up a 5 lb piece of brisket for 7 1/2 hours at 250F using hickory. I wrapped for last 1 1/2 hours. First time doing that and made a difference to final product. I think by wrapping it ended up smokier taste which is a good thing. Served up on toasted cheese buns.
