    CVAP Holding Box

    Not sure what forum to put this in, so I'll start here. Any of you ever use a CVAP box?  I am working at a place that has one and it is a little confusing to me. They are pulling the brisket at 165 and putting in the CVAP for 12 hours.  I don't know how you would ever know you've gotten past...

    What can you tell me about Greasy Hill Custom smokers?

    I went with the BR-01.  I really don't need all the other stuff the more expensive models came with.  It would be nice to have a crate to hold wood, but I think I am just going to attach milk crates to the top of the firebox when transporting and then take them off when I get there.  The rib...

    What can you tell me about Greasy Hill Custom smokers?

    One other thing I didn't do at the beginning but adjusted when I was waiting for it to rise to temp was to lift the nose a little higher.  Don't know if it was just the fire getting going or the adjustment, but the temp rose quicker after that.

    Well, I went ahead and ordered one up.  Was supposed to be ready on the 12th but the lady who runs it called me and got me one built over the weekend.  Went and picked it up yesterday.

    What can you tell me about Greasy Hill Custom smokers?

    I live in Georgia. I like the price. A reverse flow. The size is right. I am looking for something to do festival and caterings off of. Probably be used more as a hot box but want the capability to smoke on it when I feel like it. Firebox doesn't seem too small. Stacks seem right.

    Corned Beef Question

    I thought about it.  I need to go get an injector... Does anyone inject just a normal brisket?  I was thinking of giving this a shot, too (no pun intended).

    Corned Beef Question

    I don't the cure made it all the way through.  There was still a slight pink/gray in the middle. Going to up the amount of time on the brine and see if that helps. Thanks
