    What would you do? Brisket Dilemma

    I have this beautiful Costco Prime 13lb brisket that has been rubbed down with garlic, CBP, kosher salt, paprika and coffee.  I've been looking forward to a nice overnight smoke since last fall. The problem is that I just turned on the news and the weather is calling for rain from midnight to...

    I'm Back!

    After a long hiatus I'm back! A lot has happened in the past five years... I got married and then started a business and have spent five years with my nose to the grindstone. Believe it or not I just kind of forgot about smoking.  And all of my other hobbies... Anyways, after 5 years things...

    Setting up a new MES

    I've been a propane smoker for a few years now and I had loved my GOSM. But then I got side tracked.  The GOSM developed a leak in one of the lines and I set it aside to repair and shortly after got completely absorbed in starting a business.  Now it's been over a year since I've smoked anything...

    Pork meet smoke, Smoke meet pork. Play nice kids. Qview!

    I'm going to be documenting my memorial day smoke here as I go. Starting with a pork butt that I brined for 12 hours and then let rest for about 6 and gave it a good rub with my butt rub at about 10 pm last night. I put a fan on it to dry the surface out while the smoker heats up, but it...

    2lb brisket quicky

    I know that a 2lb trimmed down supermarket brisket is a bad idea, but I found one in the freezer on friday. I have no idea where it came from, but I'm craving some Q and dont have time for a full blown smoke. I gave it a good rub with cayenne, paprika, garlic and onion powders and a bit of...

    Canadian Bacon Trifecta (w/ lots of Qview)!

    I had been discussing doing some canadian bacon with my friend Paul from B. Nektar Meadery and smoking it over some oak cubes that they had used in mead making. So about two weeks ago I picked up 20lb of pork loin, cleaned and cut it into four 5lb pieces. I put it into my usual CB cure of TQ...

    Oak Cubes from Wine Aging

    So a good friend of mine owns a winery. We were discussing smoking recently and he mentioned that he has a box of Oak Cubes that were used to Oak age a mead. In a nutshell, they soaked in a bourbon barrel filled with honey wine for a few months. They have been dried and have been sitting in a...

    Chuck Roast (with q view)

    Brisket dry rub question

    When I did my first smoke, I got a 5lb brisket from a local grocery store, it came in a cryovak pack so I blotted it somewhat dry before putting the dry rub on it. I thoroughly covered it with rub, worked it in well and then put it in an aluminum roasting pan in the fridge for the night...
