    Smoking brisket advice please.

    @SmokinEdge brings up some good points. I would heavily recommend waiting until an IT of 180F before saucing if you were going to do it. If you wrap or cover briskets too early, you will end up with roast beef flavor instead of smoked beef bbq brisket flavor. So the longer you wait, the...

    Smoking brisket advice please.

    Oh bbq sauce at that point. I'm of no help there, I never sauce in the smoker, only at the table. I also never separate my flat and point muscles since the flat muscle is such a pain in the butt, especially alone. I would need to wrap my flat where the point doesn't. I also don't wrap my whole...

    On the Edge of Trying Sausage Making

    I think you will be good to start with that setup. I'm not sure what surface you will be doing this on (kitchen table?) but be sure you have a pair of clamps that will clamp that stuffer to the working surface without worry of marking up the surface (like if using a kitchen table). You will...

    Smoking brisket advice please.

    If you are just trying to have a little meal or snack, I would cut this flat piece off when you pull it out of the smoker and then do your plan to wrap, hold, refrigerate, or whatever you land on. It's not uncommon to want to eat on a little piece once you pull it from the smoker :D

    How Do I Get Rid of These Armadillos?!!

    He's absolutely amazing! An example of someone who isn't a flawless vocalist but is an amazing writer and musician! He has a ton of amazing songs. I could rattle off a ton but the ones that immediately come to mind that would be for a wide audience would be: Feelin Good Again I'm Coming Home...

    Mastebuilt Heating elements

    HI there and welcome! Technically it should work. The biggest issue will be how well it fits since I think it's larger and the MES30 is a smaller box so the element may much more heavily heat once side of the smoker than the other but you could live with that. As for construction and...

    1st Attempt TX Jalapeno and Cheese Smoked Sausage w/ QView

    Yeah I took these a little higher than 148F in temp and did ice bath. I used wild pork meat so I think I took it to a temp where parasites are known to die just in case which I believe is low 150's. If it was farm pork I believe I will try the 148F temps. It also had NDFM so was rocking that...

    I think a grocery store in my home town (HEB) may carry the La Tortilla Factory ones. I'll have to check. I do have an HEB not far from me but it's a freakin mad house and not worth me stepping into for just about any reason, but I may brave it to try these lol. Thanks! The Sausage maker...

    Should I smoke a while Chicken?

    Hi there and welcome! The important things to know about smoking whole chicken (skin on): If you don't cook it hot, you will end up with leathery/rubbery skin. I always recommend smoking at 325F smoker temp or so, for bite through or often crispy skin texture. There are some other things you...
