***Official BBQ / Smoker Thread***


Recommended Posts

So I bought these saw dust bricks that I learned about some place on this site. It took for ever to get them lit? Went through 15 sticks of fat wood. Was about to go get the rose bud out of the truck. Any tricks to them. They obviously need a lot of air because they are heavy and dense like Zam. Once going, they burn OK but do smell good. They only cost $2.30 ,6 bricks weighing 21lbs total. Maybe this brand sucks?

those look good,  this time of year i've gone to just searing and tossing them in the over on the pan rather than freezing my ass off outside with the weber

It’s 40deg out. Didn’t need a coat. Looks to be in the 40s for the next 10 days.

Dropped an 11 pound brisket on the smoker an hour ago. 250*

 

 

Apparently, there will be a wedding here at my house this summer and I was volunteered to cook brisket for somewhere around 120 people. Going to measure the weigh after cooking to see what the actual yield is from an 11 lbs brisket after trimming and after cooking.

Another brisket. Last one was tasty but dried out on me. I seared this one on both sides at 400 degrees when I started. May wrap it after 5-6 hour to help keep it moist.

After 4 hours it’s at about 140.

Aiming for 205*?

Looks to be pretty dry, time to wrap?

What's the rub/binder recipe?

I went another half hour then wrapped. Its at 205 now. Pulled it from the wrap, letting it dry up a touch before I take it off the grill.

Kept it simple, equal parts garlic powder, pepper and salt.
