    Brisket Experience

    This is exactly what I'm going to try next time. I have a vertical, not a UDS, but same thinking. Just want tender juice results. Love that picture. Did she get one when you came out all soot covered? John

    2 day smoke -- need help with Smoking Time estimates

    Ribs finished at 7:15 pm ... so much for the 2 hours. Flavor was good, inside tender, outside tough. They were very lean so that might have caused it. Brisket finished at 9 am. No pictures yet, had to wrap and cooler it as it needs to keep to 3 pm. It went on right around 3 pm yesterdays, so...

    Just ordered my big block!

    I run mine with the vents closed to the stops and the gas at the mid mark and it maintains about 230-250. With it at low, it got to about 180. On high hit over 300. I didn't run any tests with the vents in other positions.

    On my first brisket, a 7 pounder, I trimmed, scored the fat, rubbed it and through it in with 4-5 chunks of Hickory and let it go till it hit 185, which was 9 hrs. Was very tender, juicy and very rich flavor. Maybe beginners luck as it came out so well.
