    Help - Monster Brisket (with pic)

    I have a big party on Saturday and I'm anxious to smoke a whole brisket for the first time. I didn't want to do a flat half since I want the whole brisket experience. They had a couple of 12-13 pounders in cryovac, but they didn't look great. They had one very nice looking 18 pounder - well...

Today I am seasoning my brand new 40" Masterbilt Smokehouse and tomorrow...smoke heaven. Since I will be doing a lot of experimenting over the coming weeks, I will...

    Newby + Materbilt Question

    I'm brand spankin' new to this forum, but not to smoking. I did my first smoked turkey on a Weber kettle over 25 years ago. Over the years I have had a succession of small water smokers - Brinkman's and Charbroils. The last one was an electric Charbroil - A nice machine with some temperature...
