    Extremely Fast Cook Times on Brisket & Butt with Insulated Cover - Can Dinner be Saved?

    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...

    Screwed Up a Packer Brisket

    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...

    Help please.

    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...

    Best place to buy whole packer brisket? Austin TX

    Hey! I'm visiting Texas and I'd like to buy a brisket or 2 to take back home with me. I'm not from the US and brisket has gotten super expensive back home. Choice grade is about the price of a prime here in the US, if not more. So I thought I might as well take advantage of that and get a nice...

    About to buy a smoker...which one?

    I'm finally about ready to buy my smoker. I am going to be focused on doing venison snack sticks and this has me leaning toward and electric smoker that is capable of lower starting Temps.

    Brisket Point on Kettle - second time a charm

    After purchasing my first ever Weber Kettle (Master Touch) a couple months back, one of the first things I did was smoke a brisket flat. It was tasty, but a few things were not great. I had temp inconsistency, didn't start early enough so had to foil wrap so there was no bark, and was not very...

    BRisket help

    While the briskets are quite tasty, they are chewy. I shouldn't need a knife and fork to eat brisket. I've used the 1.5 hours per pound and seeing another article that this is a rough guide only, that it depends on the thickness of the meat. I run at 250F and internal temperature runs from 165...
