I CONSIDER MYSELF A NOVICE WHEN IT COMES TO SMOKING, HOWEVER I DID PULL AN ALL NIGHT SMOKE SESSION WITH SOME PORK BUTT THIS PAST WEEKEND...YES IT WAS LIKE HAVING A NEWBORN AGAIN, BUT WAS MY BEST BUTT BY FAR....I SEE I WAS MISSING THE SNACK TABLE. MOTHERS DAY I WAS TIRED BUT WHEN EVERYONE WENT AWAY SMILING WITH THEIR FULL TUMMIES I WAS A VERY HAPPY MUM!
I AM GOING TO TACKLE A BRISKET THIS WEEKEND.....I AM UNDECIDED ON THE WOOD OR BLEND THERE OF...ANY SUGGESTIONS I WOULD LOVE TO HEAR EM'
IT IS GOING TO BE HOTTER THAN MY SMOKER THIS WEEKEND IN SO CAL! GREAT SMOKING WEATHER!!!
I AM EXCITED TO BE APART OF A FORUM THAT IS SO PASSIONATE ABOUT SMOKING!
 
Welcome to the SMF Family, Goddess! Congrats on your first successful smoke! Those all-night smokes makes that meal seem so much better

Lots of posts in the Beef section of the forum relating to brisket. Take a peek around to see if something helps, otherwise, don't hesitate to throw those questions out there!

Good luck with the brisket! If you're able to take some pics, we'd all love to see some q-vue!
 
Welcome aboard!

Two suggestions, #1) I use apple wood with my briskets. #2) turn the caps key off as it's generally means you're yelling, so some folks might get the wrong idea.

Welcome to the forum! Don't forget, we like pics of your smokes!
 
Welcome to SMF.. First suggestion..take off the caps lock ;{)

And brisket ... I LOVE my hickory on brisket! Be sure to rub it, and look up the "SmokeyOkie sear method". The sear produces the best brisket I have ever had. And I've had a few :{)

Enjoy yer time here.
 
welcome to SMF,I also like useing hickory on briskets.glad u found us-enjoy
 
Welcome Goddess,
This is a great place to help with the skills needed for great smokes.
I like to read on what people are doing. And new ideas.

Good Luck!
Mike
 
Welcome to the SMF!! I will use a mix of hickory and mesquite on my brisket.
 
Welcome, Goddess. You are quite the 'Mum' to be pulling an all-nite smoke for Mother's Day. Wow. (I am now trying to find my wife to take a look at this post.... JUST kidding)
 
OK! OK!
I got it, firstly no CAPS!! lol! I have a program that I must use only CAPS and I forget to turn them off, my bad!!
Secondly, thank you all I can't wait to become a real "pit master" I am talking bbq not arms!
It seems that most agree that the wood should be hickory, it is my favorite. Now I am off to look up the SmokeyOkie sear method!

Hello,

I use oak wood when smoking butts and brisket. I use the same rub with my brisket as pulled pork with the exception of taking out dry mustard and adding onion and garlic powder to enhance the taste of the beef. Anyway, good luck and congrats on your 1st all-nighter
 
Thanks I was going nuts trying to find it!
I have to give you props, a RED WINGS FAN, alas I still am waiting, 36 year (not like I am whining or anything) for the beloved Lord Stanleys Cup ~ yes the Ducks last year, but not my Kings :(
GO WINGS!
