    What am I doing wrong with brisket?

    Yeah the Costco one I got was prime. They're just so big 16lbs. They're tough to handle. I need a 10-12 lb packer brisket but not sure if they make them that size.

    What am I doing wrong with brisket?

    This could be an issue as well. I've only been resting for 45 min to an hour. I'll try to rest 2 hours or longer next time.

    What am I doing wrong with brisket?

    It's tough too with the offset because I have the point towards the firebox so when it reads 200 the flat is only 175. Not sure how to fix that.

    Smoked these up a couple weeks ago. All of them turned out great.

    What am I doing wrong with brisket?

    Hey guys. I did my first brisket a couple months ago and did my second last week on my Horizon offset smoker. I've watched tons of videos, read books, etc on the ins and outs of smoking a brisket. The first brisket I bought was a prime brisket from Costco. Trimmed it, rubbed it up, and smoked...

    Meat temperatures on offset smoker. Help!

    Hey guys, so I've got a Horizon offset smoker. I've done multiple smokes on it with some pretty good success. The only issue I'm having is the differences in temperature from one side to the other. I put a buffer in which helps but when I did ribs last weekend, the side closest to the firebox is...

    First offset smoker

    So I just bought my first offset, a Horizon 16". So far I've smoked a ham and a couple pork butts. I love everything about it but managing the fire and temperature is a full time job. I've ready lots of stuff on here about making mods. I just ordered some gasket to put around the cooking chamber...

    First smoke EVER next week. Suggestions?

    I'm smoking another pork butt today. I started off with the minion method and wow, what a difference. I've put one or two small sticks on in two hours and I've been steady 250 the entire time. My first smoke I didn't have enough of a solid coal base and was constantly trying to keep the temp up...

    First smoke EVER next week. Suggestions?

    Well the first smoke was a success. I followed Bear's guide for pulled pork to a T and thought it turned out well. Bark and smoke ring looked solid. I also smoked a ham with a brown sugar and pineapple glaze. I've attached a pic of the pork. My biggest takeaway from using an offset for the...
