    TIME ESTIMATE WHEN SMOKING MULTIPLE CUTS

    Think I'm ok. Top was 140, bottom was 150. Going to foil them at 160 and finish to 190 and rest them in cooler until for 2-3 hours.

    TIME ESTIMATE WHEN SMOKING MULTIPLE CUTS

    Smoker had no thermometer so I installed a brand new one last night. Guess I'll just check it since its been about 3 hours and see where they are.

    Yes, I am using an extension cord. Will that do it? Don't think I can avoid using one due to proximity to house.

    TIME ESTIMATE WHEN SMOKING MULTIPLE CUTS

    Thanks again! Hope so on the star part...last couple years everyone enjoyed my other conquests (1/2 hog over wood coals and smoked butts) but it could have been that underestimated time so badly they would have been happy to eat anything... Lol

    Thanks Geerock, that helps a lot. Will start up around 9am since I'm not serving until 7ish...will leaving plenty of time for panic, cold beverages and the old cooler finish. Can you leave it in the cooler too long? Obviously not talking more than 3-4 hours...

    TIME ESTIMATE WHEN SMOKING MULTIPLE CUTS

    Please forgive my ignorance, but I have what is sure to be a stupid question about generally estimating the time on a brisket. I am smoking 2 flat cuts (about 4 lbs each) in a brinkmann electric with a blend of pecan and hickory (experimenting with different woods).  I hear the general estimate...

    Greetings from Charleston, SC

    Hi everyone, Pretty new to smoking but not cooking.  Have 2 Brinkmanns (electric and charcoal).  Gonna use the electric for the first time tomorrow, got the charcoal down for smaller cuts of meat and ribs but last new years got beat up by about 25 lbs of boston butt.  Never knew about the whole...
