    Anyone every convert a Brinkmann Gourmet Electric to charcoal?

    So I've been using a Traeger and I love, love it, but it just doesn't give the smokey flavor I crave. So I went ahead and made a pouch of chips to add smoke flavor and that worked, sort of. Anyways, I'll keep my Traeger forever because it's just so darn easy and the meat is always very good off...

    Meat Tenderizer Question

    Hi all, I'm planning on smoking a brisket on Sunday. My neighbor swears by a seasoning called "meat tenderizer". He says to use it in conjunction with my rub and it helps to, you guessed it, tenderize the meat. The ingredients include salt, sugar and papain (?). I was just wondering what you all...
