I just can't believe the heat wave we've had to endure this week. It was another day in the mid-70s with no humidity and very little wind. So, since I bought nice little brisket earlier in the week. I decided to fire up the kettle and see how it goes.
Can't do the inaugural brisket on the...
I'm planning on smoking a brisket for our family reunion and serving it for dinner as everyone arrives, cutting it around 6pm. The problem is that the family reunion is being held 350 miles away from where I live (6 hour drive) and I'm not sure what the best way to store it would be to make sure...
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...
Happy Father's Day to all of the dads out there.
This is my Father's Day brisket I made on Saturday. It came out absolutely amazing! This is a 16-pounder and the total cook time was about 14 hours. I took it off the smoker at around 2 pm and let it rest until 6:30 pm. This is how it looked...
Good morning all and Happy Father's Day!
Just took this pic about 5 minutes ago. It's been smoking (Traeger Pro Series 34) since 10:45 pm EST last night (about 8 hours) at 225 degrees. It has about 4 more hours before I start checking temps.
Dry rub - SPG
Hickory pellets
Peace
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. The hardest part for me so far has been finding the right size split and technique to maintain a good sized coal bed and the temps I...
I have a verticle gas smoker that I use wood chunks for, I am smoking Beef Ribs (thick boys) and a beef brisket, I got them to have a great bark and then wrapped them in butcher paper. I wrapped the brisket at 165-175 degrees and wrapped the beef ribs at 180 degrees. Once I put them back in the...
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...
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...
I bought a 13 pound brisket early last week to grind . Went back on my normal day to check prices ( Gordon's food service ) they had 3 or 4 small briskets at $3.75 a pound so I grabbed one .
Trimmed out at 5 1/2 pounds . It's really flexible to start , so that's good .
I mixed up an injection of...
Just smoked my first brisket and it finished 3 hrs early. Cooked on a traeger at 220 degrees until IT was 165. Bumped up to about 240 for 3 more hrs and cooked until IT was at 203 degrees in both flat amd tip. it took 12.5 hrs instead of 15.5 hrs total time. I was planning on resting it an hr...
As many of you already know I was the lucky recipient of a free SRF Wagyu brisket. It was from a member on here who wishes to remain anonymous. Originally I was planning on smoking it for Easter, but the weather yesterday & today are perfect for outdoor grilling. So we did an all night smoke in...

Forgot to take pictures in the smoker but here it is after it rested for a few hours before slicing. Lost some...
I was at Sam's club a few weeks ago and they had some Prime briskets that looked great and at $4.68/lb. Against my better judgement I didn't get one. Well After having some emergency dental work I was wanting to do something relaxing so I asked the wife if she could run by Sam's and get me one...
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.
Hi Folks,
I'm seeing something pretty strange with my pellet smoker. I put a 9.5lbs butt and 12lbs brisket on my smoker at 225 and in just 7.5 hours, temps are 178 on the pork and 193 on the brisket (temp taken on the flat). Neither were wrapped. I've never seen cook times anywhere near this...
Would appreciate any comments on how I screwed up a prime packer brisket. I monitored 3 probes in the brisket: flat, mid and point (temp profile attached). At stall, it was put in a covered aluminum pan for the rest of the smoke. It finished earlier than expected, so it rested for 5 hours. The...
ETA: outside temp was in the low 20°'s.
How should I continue to cook to make sure it reaches desired temp. Do I just monitor internal temp?
Hi there! I’m hoping you can help guide me. I put my brisket in an electric smoker last night at 11pm. I woke up to find out the smoker turned off due...
