    First brisket, appreciate direct feedback so next is better

    I don't know why this thread came up in my feed. It did, so I replied, without checking the dates.

    First brisket, appreciate direct feedback so next is better

    I always wrap with butcher paper around 165. Also, I add a bit of beef tallow on it when wrapping helps to keep it moist. I bring my brisket up to 203, and do the bend test. The slice should bend nicely in the middle but not break when you pick it up in the center. Search for "brisket bend...

    Corned Beef or Pastrami? How about both

    I LOVE pastrami and corned beef. Every March, I will go the day after and buy up a bunch of the left over corned beef packages that go on sale after St. Paddy's day. Then I smoke a few and freeze the rest. One of my favorites is to make a Pastrami and Provolone cheese steak. Basically, it's...

    Ever try to go back to your birth name?

    Steven here but always go by Steve. I had a friend in Jr. High/High School whose name was Steve, too. When he was in 7th grade, he had the start of a real scraggly dark beard/mustache. Think like Shaggy from Scooby doo, except patchier and really dark. Somebody started calling him Fungus. He...

    Decided on Smokin-It

    To add to what Keith said above, the sand serves to soak up and store up a bunch of heat. This helps to keep the temps more stable kind of like a shock absorber. Water does a similar thing but it also adds moisture to the chamber. Depending on what you are trying to achieve, this may or may...

    Greatest Song Ever Recorded

    I'm a huge Southern Rock fan, despite growing up in New England. I wore out so many Skynyrd/Blackfoot/Outlaws/Molly Hatchet albums and tapes its ridiculous. That said, if I had to pick my top 3 greatest, it's these: 3. Rush - Spirit of Radio 2. Kansas - Carry On Wayward Son 1. Led Zeppelin -...

    Hello! Or as we say down here in Florida, "Alligator hurricane tourist hockey"

    Nice write up! Welcome from WA- I started with a MES and it got me hooked big time. I have since switched to pellet smokers (first a Pitboss and now a Recteq), but the MES is a fantastic smoker, especially for someone just starting out. I can see from your post that you are as enamored with...

    Cellaring your beer stash

    Learning to homebrew is fun but there are a lot of equipment costs that really can add up. It all depends on how far you want to go with it. It's a rabbit hole, in terms of needing equipment for the boil, then if you go all grain you need equipment to mash, and you will need more equipment to...

    MY THOUGHTS ON A REC TEC 1250

    I bought the RT700 about 6 months ago. I absolutely love it! I think you are going to grow to love your 1250 too! It will serve you well And that was a great looking pastrami! I love picking up the corned beef that goes on sale right after St Paddy's day and turning it into pastrami

    the way meat tasted a 100 years ago

    We have a Herfy's in Snoqualmie a block from Mt Si High school, and there's another in Redmond i used to go to for lunch when I worked nearby. The burgers are still way better than McD's and BK.

    What's with these car lead times?

    I ordered a Maverick back on Christmas Eve. I called the dealership where I ordered it last week. He told me I'm on page 2 of his 4 pages of orders. He estimates it's going to be another 4 months for it to come in. This is crazy. I'm gonna buy a few shares of F stock this week now that I...
