    Brisket safety question

    define "saved" IMO there is zero need to hold the brisket at 155 for any amount of time. Time is not going to get it to the point of tenderness, that is accomplished by temp. Right now you are in a no-mans-zone with nothing beneficial happening.

    Brisket safety question

    Don't know where you got the 135° number, but 140° or 145° is recommended holding temp. If I thought it had cooked through to my desired temp, or even a safe temp for beef, i would have just continued with whatever processing you had intended for it. As the meat fell from 140° down to 95° that...

    Lang style 108 stationary smoker FS

    Price seems okay to me. I just sold my 84 pull behind on Craigslist. Quick and painless. Yours is a little more of a specialty rig, might take some time and effort.

    Holy cow. First I forgot my password, then by the time I got around to fishing it out from the forum software I lost access to the email I signed up under, but I'm back. This pic was taken yesterday. As I said before, the smoking chamber is in outstanding shape. I just noticed on Ben's site...

    How long will meat keep?

    Yup, vac seal if possible, especially if for more than a couple of weeks. I read this a long time ago and assumed it to be true, certainly don't know where I read it, and never went to double check but ... meat benefits from freezing and thawing slowly. This is due to the cell wall/water...

    Lang 84 Deluxe in central NC plus catering/competition set up

    Thread title states Central NC. I don't have a clue about shipping something like this and would cover that ground if it comes up. Delivery around NC, SC, VA I would also discuss with any potential buyer. I'm willing to negotiate. Both boxes pictured, top has two full size and one 2"...

    Looking for opinions on The Perfect Draft Reglator

    A good, hot, clean burning fire with seasoned wood split to about the same size is the best start to regulating temps. Once you have that, burn with vents open until you get a bed of coals. I'm brand new here so maybe this is no secret, but I use the flue draft as the main regulator. So once...
