I've a question concerning cruelly smoking a brisket. I normally smoke 1 at 225-250 for about 45 minutes per pound, formerly wrapping it in foil after the first 2-three hours. The brisket always turns out real juicy & tender, the problem that I have concerns how to rewarm the brisket without drying it out.
The problem is that if you plan on hungrily eating in the early afternoon you have t

Written by Ansorg

I think I just made a discovery. I cooked some meat the other day, following my usual habit of cooking the meat until it should be done according the internal temperature. This time, however, I had to hold the meat until dinner so I ended up putting it into the oven wrapped in foil then later into a cooler wrapped in towels. In short, I steamed it 4-5 more hours than I would have done normally. Th

I was just over at Costco and brought home a couple of racks of pork (each about 5 and a half pounds). Anyone ever BBQ�d these before? My idea is to use a nice rub like I would with any other BBQ meat. Would you recommend that I do them whole or cut into smaller pieces? I think each piece alone may be too big.

I got my hands on a nice 5 pound flat and a 4 pound roast. I think the brisket will take approximately 8 hours to cook.

I am having a problem with my butts. The other day I cooked 2 15 pounder. The problem I was having is that the temperature stalled after cooking for a while at close to 175 degrees.

Can anyone recommend a good timer that is reliable in sub zero temps?

I smoked a 3 lb corned beef brisket. After soaking it in water over night, I rinsed and patted it dry. I rubbed spices on the meat and cooked it in the WSM at between 250-300 dome temps over apple and mesquite chips to an internal temperature of 175. All in all it took about 5 hours. The result was OK but there wasn't as much smoky flavor as I wanted and also only a little of the fat cap rendered

Do you soak your wood?
In category Barbecuing
Written by Spaceantelope420

My father always soaked his wood in water for a few days before using it, so I do the same, seems like a good idea. The idea behind the water soaking is that the wood burns slower, possibly at a more consistent rate to aid in temperature control, and smokes more. Any opinions about this? Pro`s? Con`s? Is this common?
I start out burning charcoal until I have a good fire base, then I add th
