    Not happy with my ribs

    Now you're talkin'. Those ribs look great! Great price too! I have a feeling you will see a big difference in this smoke. Have fun!

    Not happy with my ribs

    I'm guessing this is your problem (my emphasis in bold). This solution changes the flavor, texture, and moisture content of the meat. If you are remembering the way ribs "used to taste" and you aren't getting it, try purchasing meats that aren't "enhanced". You can easily tell which meats have...

    Beef Brisket Newbie

    I forgot to post the temp of the meat right before I removed it from the foil. It was 189.6 degrees F. That is when I removed it from the foil and put it back in to darken up a bit.

    Beef Brisket Newbie

    Interesting...my brother-in-law was just telling me something similar. He said he uses a thermometer to get close and then goes by resistance with the probe until he gets the desired tenderness. Thanks for the input. Thanks Shooter. I will definitely let it rest longer next time. The brisket...

    Beef Brisket Newbie

    I pulled the meat out of the smoker at 5:37 (8 hours & 20 minutes total cook time). The temperature actually went down with the foil off. The final temp in the middle of the meat was 171 degrees F. It must have had to do with evaporation. However, it was starting to look the way I expected. I...

    Beef Brisket Newbie

    After 3½ hours in the smoker I put the meat into the foil! The meat was hovering around 155° F for the last hour and 15 minutes. I added 10 unlit coals right on top of the existing coals. Not sure if I really needed it but I was headed out to the store with the family and wouldn't be around to...

    Beef Brisket Newbie

    I've never smoked a brisket before. I figured I'd see what all the fuss was about. I used Meathead's Big Bad Beef rub. It's raining outside today so I pulled the smoker under the patio. Started smoking at 9:17 am. I'll keep you posted.

    Smoking a smaller butt.

    It took just under 5 hours. The meat was tender and juicy despite the 205 degree final temperature. This was the first time I every wrapped a butt in foil and I'm glad I did. I'll be wrapping from now on.
