    Is injection or brine necessary?

    I prefer to brine and spatchcock my birds. I like to use a sweet brine and a heavy wood like hickory so my bird has tons of flavor. I usually use 3/4 hickory and 1/4 cherry wood. I brine my bird for about 24 hours but then I let it air dry in the fridge for at least 8 hours before smoking. If...

    New Dyna-Glo vertical offset smoker

On the day of, I have a big oven safe platter that I put the carved breast and thighs on, then stacked the legs...

    LET'S TALK BRISKET!!

    This is such a good thread! I'm in the same boat of have a dry brisket. I have only tried flats, mostly because I can't fit a whole one in on my shelf. I saw someone suggest keeping the point and just halving it. I might try that. One thing I didn't see was pre cook routines. How does everyone...
