    Brisket Burnt Ends How-To

    So looking like my brisket gonna be done 5 hours before we gotta eat. How do I keep that long? Can I keep in cooler that long or do a oven reheat?

    Wrapping Brisket

    Hey all! In the middle of smoking 12lb brisket. Been up since 12am!! You guys recommend wrapping?? If so, can I use parchment paper instead of butchers paper, I don't have any... Also, will paper speed it up or just help contain juice? Pat

    Brisket Burnt Ends How-To

    Hey all! I'm gonna be doing my first whole (packer) brisket. I plan on smoking it all together. I was planning to keep connected the whole duration and then cubing the point and throwing it in a skillet to fry up with sauce and rub after. Is that OK to do? Any suggestions??? Thanks guys! Pat

    Must Do Mods for Materbuilt Electric Bullet Smoker

    Thanks all! I'm gonna start with the addition of an additional thermometer @ mid chamber to  get a more accurate overall temp.  If I were to add an additional vent, where would I put it? At the very bottom?? Pat

    Sigmo, thanks for the response!  And yes, overall it does work pretty well. I have made both brisket and pork shoulder that came out pretty good. Now, just trying to optimize it. Got frustrated with both of my long smokes that I couldn't get it under 240.. So, I did replace the thermometer...
