Great thread, making me hungry for brisket! Gonna have to try the no trim method since mine tend to dry out.
I can't fit a full packer on 1 rack in my vertical smoker, it'll need to be cut down to fit. Is there anything wrong with leaving the point & flat attached and simply cutting the entire...
I've been asked to consider smoking a standing rib roast for my family for the upcoming Thanksgiving holiday. I have very little experience smoking beef so I'm here looking for some guidance. I'd like it to have a very mild smoke flavor with a rub that appeals to everyone, not looking to take...
My neighbor has that smoker and had problems with high temps. His solution (same one I use with my Brinkmann gasser) is to control the gas in the range between the off position & the ignite position on the dial. Neither smoker show this range as low, high, or anything between but give it a shot...
forgot about this thread. I owe coco a big thanks! His little trick saved the day and solved my high heat issue. I've done a couple great smokes since this thread and will be doing another this weekend. Thanks again everyone, especially coco, for your help!
Time for an update. Its been in for 11.5 hours and is up to 190 degrees. Does this seem a little strange for a 3.5 lb butt? I wrapped it at 180 and it has picked up 10 degrees in about an hour, gaining temp much faster now. It seemed to stall out for a loooong time in the 155 - 159 range. Never...
Stopping in to introduce myself and compliment all on a great resource. I'm Aaron, 33 years old and I have a lot to learn about smoking. I had a brinkman vertical electric for a few years and never was impressed. My wife got me a Brinkman vertical gasser for christmas last year. I understand its...
Picked up a 6.25lb butt today and I'm considering smoking only half of it tomorrow (along with a slab of baby backs). Aside from cooking times, is there any difference in smoking a 3 pounder vs. a 6 pounder?
Took some shagbark hickory and introduced it to a jointer to make some small chips. I'm wondering if there is a general preference to chip size, mine are similar to those made with a chainsaw. I could easily use a chopsaw to cut some "cookies" and split them down but I'm not sure on which is...
Ran a search for Brinkman and found very little info on this unit, mostly suggestions to steer clear and pay a little more for a gosm. Well, it was given to me as a gift and I'd really like to make it more functional. This unit runs 275-300 on low, too hot for my liking. I don't know what to...
