    First time smoking Brisket!

    It looks good. I love brisket...I hope the prices on meat come down soon so I can do another one.

    New to smoking, question.

    You could either go with a Weber Kettle grill which can be used to smoke your meat or you could check other options. My first smoker years ago was a brinkman vertical charcoal smoker...I didn't much care for that one as it was difficult to keep the charcoal going due to ventilation issues I...

    thermopro vs inkbird

    I went ahead and ordered it from Amazon. It should be here Friday. I was tempted to get the Meater but the one I could afford didn't seem to do well staying connected more than a few feet away. My question on the IBT-4XS is if I am only cooking one type of meat like say a pork shoulder can I...

    thermopro vs inkbird

    thanks for the replies. I think I'll go with the IBT-4XS from Inkbird. It does look like you can see a graph of the temp as you cook so that will help monitor the stall.

    just some thoughts

    I remember a while back my wife was watching Food Network and Drive Ins, Diners, and Dives came on. I have to admit i like learning about the food joints they show. Guy Fieri gets on my nerves though. A lot of times he may ask these people that run these restaurants why they do somethings that...

    looking to do a mailbox mod

    I like that idea....i just took apart a rack thingie that we used to hand from the shower head...cut on the the racks off and used that as i didn't have anything else laying around. It stayed lit till i was done....i had about a 1/4 cup of pellets that i separated from the ones that were smoking.

    Crap I made out of old tanks recently

    Wow...those are cool. I would be afraid to know what those cost. Do you sell many of them? Looks good for someone wanting to go into competitions.

    That looks good...I love brisket. Briskets are getting hard to find for a good price where I am.
