have smoked my second brisket. I guess I am serious enough to believe I will be around for a long time.
My name id David and I will admit that the Bbq Pitmaster show has sparked my interest in giving smoking a try.
I bought the red Brinkman Electric Smoker thinking that would let me concentrate on the meat. Allowing me to learn one thing at a time.
I smoked my first brisket and was less than impressed with the results. It just so happened that before I had my attention on smoking my wife arranged for us to go see the Bears play in Dallas. I took the opportunity to located a local bbq place. I wanted to give myself something to shoot for by having real Texas Bbq. I asked quite a few people (everyone I ran into) nd more than a few mentioned a place that was only a few miles from the hotel.
Called the Hard 8 this place was a great suggestion here is a link to my little video on this place.

Hard 8
688 Freeport Parkway
Coppell, TX 75019[/h3]
I did take home the idea to copy the "Brush Poppers", along with a fun time watching the bears play
My next attempt I paid better attention and employed the foil wrap at the end. Here is my video showing the rusults of the second try and my first toss out of a "Q-View"

I was very happy with the outcome this time but really need to figure out a way to slow down the cooking. The meat is still not tender enough for me. Any suggestion on how to accomplish this with an electric smoker let me know.
After searching I found the suggestion to precook the bacon, which I did but not enough. A little longer next time as I had to finish the the bacon off under the broiler. These were a good the first time out but will be better next time.
I do look forward to learning and sharing with everyone here.
SeeYa
