    Great Brisket Score of 2016!

    Costco has been my best brisket source so far. Prime-grade packers at my closest store are $3.29/lb. Sometimes Super Walmart has choice for around $3/lb, but I'll spend the extra couple bucks for the prime if possible.

    Reverse Sear

    Looks good. That's my favorite way to make pork chops and steaks on a Weber kettle. Indirect with a touch of smoke until they hit the temp I want, then let the coals get blazing hot and sear.

    does anyone use store bought rubs or spice or BBQ sauce???

    I use Plowboy's Yardbird on pork and chicken. Beef is usually just salt and pepper.

    Baby Backs tonight

    I usually use hickory and mix in some kind of fruit wood for pork. I'm partial to cherry, but apple is very nice too.

    Other Hobbies

    In addition to smoking meat, I brew a lot of beer and tinker with all of the DIY stuff that can go along with that. I dabble in photography and shoot a fair bit too.

    First Brisket

    I trim it, but try to leave 1/4" or so. I cut away all of the hard fat I can get at.

    space concerns with my Weber and ribs

    I get 3 slabs on my old Weber Performer in a rib rack no problem. I think there are 5 or 6 slots in the rib rack. I usually give it a spin (just pick up and turn the whole rib rack with the slabs in it) half-way through my smoke. Works great!

    Playing with some Mini-WSM mods, and of course Smokin dinner!

    I really need to make one of these. My wife is always asking for ABTs and with two levels in a mini-WSM I would be an ABT-making machine!

    Hot fast brisket fail!

    I was skeptical at first but have been doing strictly hot-and-fast cooks on my performer for a couple years now. I usually start at about 230 and let the cooker heat up to about 300-325 and keep it there for the rest of the cook. I wrap at about 165 and pull off when done. Not sure what went...
