    I'm back, and I have brisket

    I got a RecTec RT700. I still have my old MES40 from years ago, and while it was fine for smoking, it didn't get hot enough for all of the applications I was looking for. I didnt want to have to deal with propane, and I didnt want to manage charcoal or a stick burner, so pellet grills fit my...

    I'm back, and I have brisket

    Hi All, It's been ages since I've visited the site, and about as long since I've smoked anything. I recently decided to get back into smoking, so I picked up a new grill and decided to do a full packer as my first smoke. It's been about 9 years or so since I smoked anything, so there was some...

    Doing first overnighter and first brisket tomorrow - advice appreciated - adding pictures

    I've only cooked brisket flats because I live in Boston, where, apparently any cut of meat larger than a chicken breast terrifies people, so packers are not widely available, but I have to echo what people have already said. It will take as long as it takes, and there's no telling how long...

    First Fattie! (UPDATED W/Q-VIEW!!)

    I'm going to try a couple Fatties tomorrow. I see a lot of tutorials saying to put bbq sauce on the outside BEFORE smoking. This is usually a no-no because of burning sugar and all that. What's the deal with this? Why is it ok on a fattie?

    No Bearcarver Tri tip tutorial???

    Wow, I knew they were a west coast thing, but I didn't think they'd be so exclusive. I may need to look into importing some. I'll check with a couple local butchers first

    No Bearcarver Tri tip tutorial???

    I'm in the same boat up here in Boston. Never heard of a tri tip until about 5 or 6 years ago, and I've still never seen one. I'm hoping to find a butcher that'll carry that cut, but I think I'm just as likely to find ground unicorn around here.

    No Bearcarver Tri tip tutorial???

    What is the meaning of this outrage? I see all of these awesome tri tips in the carousel, so I go consult my smoking dictionary (Bear's sig) and what do I find? Everything but tri tip! What's going on here, Bear? Consider this an online petition!
