Oh wow - awesome information! This is currently resting in the cooler, it sat at 190 for a long time and felt pretty tender so I pulled it.
Will let you guys know how it turns out. Now I know what I'm working with, I may search around to find a place that will have packers available.
Last time I coated it in mustard and applied a generic rub... some type of Jack Daniels barbecue rub. I let that sit during the day and smoked it overnight. My first problem was that I used the stock MES-30 and I only got 3 cycles of Hickory in before I went to bed. Secondly, when I got up in...
Alright fellow smokers, I've been planning my 2nd attempt at beef brisket for a while and this weekend is perfect. The only local grocer I've found to carry brisket is Wegman's. This is the *only* cut they have and it is prepackaged. This is the same cut I tried last time and it turned out...
Well you guys inspired me to throw it in the smoker after I got home from work. I figured that way I would be able to load wood for 4-5 hours before going to sleep. I'll just suck it up and wake up a couple times to check the temp. It'll make for a good lunch tomorrow!
I run the smoker outside...
Nah I don't have the AMNS but need to order one ASAP! It will make life easier especially with briskets. Guess I'll aim to cook it in the smoker sans the smoke part tomorrow, thanks all for the advice.
I agree it would be a shame to waste a good piece of meat. The issue now is that I work 8-5:30, I was only looking to smoke it yesterday because of the MLK holiday. If I were to cook it now, I'd have to leave it in the oven or electric smoker all day while I'm at work. That makes me pretty...
Thanks for the info - I'd rather be safe than sorry, so if I don't cook it in the oven then I will trash it. I promise to post up a Q-view of the next one!
Well after reading through several threads here, I finally attempted my first brisket today and it was a complete failure! Last night I injected and rubbed the meat, then foiled it and set it in the fridge overnight. I woke up sick around 5AM and had to cancel the smoke!
My question is, is...
Yep, whole chickens here. I'll remember to do that, can't remember if I had breast up or down the firs time. I'll look into that brine also.
Do my cooking temps and time sound off to anyone else?
I got a MES 40" electric smoker about a month ago and tired a couple whole chickens already. I think the flavor was pretty good, but my main critique was that the thick parts of the breasts were somewhat dry and didn't have a lot of flavor. I followed the basic poultry smoking process for these...
Bought the 40" from Sams Club today. I got in with the one day pass linked earlier. They had 4-5 on the floor and one fully assembled on display. They had the newer model with remote and all, this looks like a helluva smoker.
Ah, so I need the one-day pass just to be able to buy something there? That doesn't even avoid the 10% premium. Although $330 is still better than $399 and my local Sam's does have these in stock. I might have a new toy this weekend.
For all you guys getting the 40" at Sam's Club - do you already have a membership or what? I've heard that maybe you can shop there without a membership and pay 10% on top of the shelf price. Is that what you're doing? I can't find anyone I know here with a membership.
