Food Smokers and Smoking Tips/Tricks/Techniques

yup. you done messed up already

 

I'll tell ya it's the first one I've done so I'm waiting to see how it comes out. Probably about 45 mins or so I'm going to go and probe it to see how it's doing. Not thermo so I gotta go old fashioned here.

 

I'll try one another time again. just cause I failed so bad I want to redeem myself

 

My first one was 13-13.5 hours. Turned out perfect.

 

My normal brisket is usually around 12 hours or so, some faster some slower. This is the first time I've done the Hot'n'Fast method for a brisket though, so I'm hoping it's not a total failure here.

 

You tell em Murph

 

I grew up in TX eating brisket. There's only one way it should be done, low and slow.

 

That shit they try to pass off as brisket here is horrible. Like chewing leather. I wanted to ask them how they did it but figured they wouldn't tell me their secret anyway.

 

I'm gonna cook a hot 'n fast for Maner one day without telling him .

But, yeah, the low and slow is consistent, effective, and damn relaxing.

 

You shouldn't have told him you were going to do it. Now he's always going to be suspecting it. Should have just sprung it on him. Or better yet even when it's not done the hot'n'fast way you should tell him it is just to see what he says.

Low'n'Slow is my preferred method but today sleep won out over preferred method. Ain't no shame in this game. Will see how it comes out and if it's decent then I have another method to use when I've got a time crunch.

 

When chickening just won’t do.

 

Got one of them for Black Forrest cake or Ham.

 

I try it for the experience and will sharpen my teeth.

 

For what it's worth, last comp, I cooked my brisket in about 8 hours. Something like 15th out of 90 teams with really good tenderness scores. It can be done.

 

Got about 6 degrees to go (wife got a probe) and it seems to be getting more tender. Looks good and smells good so far. Wish I had PF for it.

 

Time for a cheapy window ac so u can at least get some sleep lol
Food looks great as usual

 

First attempt today at smoking on my gas Weber with a smoker box . Wish me luck . Doing a rack of St Louis using 3-2-1 method .
