    If you grill, the only pointer I would say is to make sure the small pointy end is further away from the coals.

    Best way to reheat brisket

    This is good to know for the future. As it turned out, I started at 10pm and finished around noon Sat morning.  The reception was at 330, so I simply put it in the cooler wrapped in foil and towels. I did end up doing what I asked about above ... put some beef broth in a tin along with some of...

    Will do.  Thanks for the suggestion.  Makes me feel better about an overnight cook without really knowing when it will finish. For the Will do.  Thanks for the suggestion.  Makes me feel better about an overnight cook without really knowing when it will finish. For the juice.  Thinking about...

    Best way to reheat brisket

    Well, we decided to not cook them a week ahead of time.  Instead, going to cook them the night before (or overnight into Saturday).  How long can I hold a brisket in a cooler after wrapping with foil and towels?

    Best way to reheat brisket

    So, a friend has asked me to make brisket for her wedding reception.  There is the possibility that I might cook it overnight the Friday before the wedding and just hold it in a cooler, wrapped in foil and towels.  Then, slice it after the wedding.  This would likely give me the best version...

    Water pan???

    I do water for when I want to keep my temps down and empty for when I want em higher (like for poultry).

    Soaking jalapenos question.

    Getting rid of all the membrane (and of course the seeds) will go a long way to taming them.

    Pepperjack and Colby w/ q-View

    Ah, that would make sense.  Couldn't figure out any way you could do that with charcoal.  Now I know why.  Thanks.

    Brining and tempature

    Yeah, I would check your probe temp.  If you rested unfoiled, going up 10 degrees seems high.  Wondering about the accuracy of the probe. Brining is supposed to infused additional flavor, not necessarily make it moister.  If it was dry, it was likely as a result of how you cooked it.  225 for...
