    Brisket - Kettle Style

    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...

    Need to bring a cooked brisket 350 miles

    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...

    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...

    Adventures in Offset Learning (w/ Pics)

    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...

    Would love some advice for my current smoke session.

    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...

    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.

    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...
