Food Smokers and Smoking Tips/Tricks/Techniques

I saw that post. Looks like one hell of a rig.

 

Fired off the charcoal side for seasoning. And fire...

 

can you use the pic from the walmart tag a few posts back?

Sorry to hear that! Prayers out to you and your brother for a speedy recovery!.

 

Yes, i called the local, they said no.

 

Had a little freezer incident yesterday in the garage fridge. Door somehow came slighlty open. Stuff by the door was partially thawed, so i’m doing a ham, and pork tenderloins today and tomorrow. Making tacos for the boy and a friend later with the ground beef.

 

Was a sign...

 

Yes, been a while. Too cold, and I’m only now feeling better from this crud I’ve had since Christmas.

 

That sucks...take it to somewhere else that price matches then back to walmart and quote the other places price

 

Nobody else has it around here.

Color is amazing! I'm in love with stick burners again

Maner and I already planning a reverse flow patio pit to compliment the pooper

 

Stick burners FTMFW

 

@Bigdaddy4760 i think your next one you should be able to just a whole tree in it and cook with that. None of this splitting the wood crap.

 

Might be in the works

 

Had to wrap briskets ...

Almost 12 hours and they are 156-162*... Foil and back on. Onward.

But damn... They lookin good.

 

This looks interesting $40. Maybe cheaply made too. Thoughts?

 

At least worth looking at. A widow could be selling it and have no idea what it's worth.

 

I’ve never done a brisket before simply because I’m too cheap to buy a $50-60 piece of meat. Today that finally changed. I covered it in pitfaced rub and let her go for 11.5 hours until it hit 200. After that I wrapped it in foil and placed it in a cooler for two hours.

Here it is right before I pulled it.



I always like to throw a few pieces of thick cut bacon on whenever I’m using the WSM.



The flat was a bit dry but the point was spot on. All together I'd say for my first brisket it wasn't bad.

 

^ brisket looks great!

I hate paying what we pay here in the NW for brisket too! My folks are in south Texas and the HEBs there have brisket all the time < $2/pound!
