Hi Everyone,
I recently purchased this bad boy and am quite happy with its results: https://www.lowes.com/pd/Masterbuilt-MES-230G-Bluetooth-Digital-Electric-Smoker/1000386171
I tried some pork loins and sausage last week and it was a piece of cake, just set them and and a couple of hours later they were done.
I now want to try cooking 2 briskets but have done some research and see that this is a quite more challenging endeavor.
My smoker has 4 racks and is only 30 inches so i believe I'll have to cut both packer cut briskets down the middle. I'll then be left with 2 points and 2 flats, one for each rack.
My question is how should i position these? points on bottom two racks and flats on top two? and how long should this take to cook? is it even feasible to load so much on to a smoker? Should I inject the brisket with brine prior to seasoning? What about water in the pan and vinegar? Also I read that I only need to add wood chips the first 5 hours. Please feel free to share your recipes and experience.
So many questions! Any guidance is much appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
