    Resting Question

    I'm in the process of smoking a corned beef brisket and it looks like it's gong to get done much earlier than I anticipated. Not a big deal as I will just let it rest in a cooler for a few hours. I smoked this in a foil pan and there is a good amount of liquid now in the bottom of it. The...

    Brisket still good?

    I have a brisket flat that has been in the deep freezer for almost a year.  Do you think this is worth defrosting and smoking?

    Ceramic smoker questions

    I'm looking into buying a Kamado style smoker and have a few general questions about them that I hope someone can answer for me.  First question is how well suited are they for long cooks such as brisket and pulled pork.  It doesn't look like it would be very easy to add more charcoal if needed...

    Help

    I started a smoke late last night and I'm worried it might get done to soon.  I'm smoking a pork butt and a brisket.  Was planning to let them both rest in a cooler wrapped in foil and blankets. My question is how long can you leave them in the cooler before they need to be served?

    I have a side firebox smoker and have been good success utilizing charcoal and hickory.  I'm out of hickory and want to smoke some turkey this weekend.  Is there any downside to using oak or walnut in the firebox?

    First Pulled Pork

    This summer I restored a New Braunfels smoker.  It's the kind that has a fire box on the side.  I now have a few smokes under my belt (ribs, chicken, salmon) and have figured out how to keep a good steady 225 - 250 smoke.  Tomorrow I will be smoking my first pork butt to make pulled pork.  Two...

    Hello - Newbie Just starting out

    Hello,  Would like to introduce myself.  My name is Matt and I'm new to smoking.  Just bought and restored an old New Braunfels smoker.  It was weathered from sitting outside and had some surface rust showing but overall it was decent shape.  Just needed a little TLC.  I don't know anything...
