Thanks guys. Here are the results from my last cook: Uncooked Brisket 1 - 8.8 lbs Brisket 2 - 8.4 lbs Cooked Brisket 1 - 5.7 lbs Brisket 2 - 5.2 lbs

I own a Guru and absolutely love it. Thinking about picking up second.

Did a quick search but didn't come up with what I needed. On average, what percentage of weight a brisket decreases by during a cook? Thanks in advance!

You need to remove the clip first like what George suggests. It slides right off. Clip it on after the probe is passed through. What Sean said is true as well. I only find them to be a royal pain if I have to lift the top rack to access the bottom one during a cook. Or maybe that's more...

I'm from Toronto (area) and use a Guru with my WSM. Quite possibly one of the best things I've ever purchased. I get a good night's sleep because it's 100% consistent and reliable. I've used it all year round!

I did two 5 lb flats at the same time this passed long weekend. I've always done them low and slow. I didn't bother foiling them this time and they came out to be the best briskets I have ever made!

I've only ever used Kingsford briquettes. I've been hearing that the aroma coming from certain lump charcoals is incredible as well. But will that aid the flavor of the meat in anyway shape or form considering I'll be using smoke wood as well?

I smoked a couple of briskets few weekends back when it was -18 celsius out (0 fahrenheit) with a nasty -25 celsius windchill. I use BBQ Guru's silver bullet jacket and it works incredible. I should have taken a picture of it as it looked very similar to Geir's picture above (although mine had...

Ever since I got my WSM, I've been smoking brisket low and slow, and with Kingsford briquettes exclusively. Been reading a lot about high heat method. I'm interested in trying it as well as switching over to Maple Leaf brand lump charcoal at the same time. I've read a bit about overnight...

I usually thaw them in the fridge 3 full days before it needs to be prepped.

Hey guys, Used my FoodSaver for the first time this weekend. Any tips on reheating? I was thinking to boil. Many of the posts that mention boiling are for sliced pre-sliced or chopped brisket. No mention of unsliced briskets. Just want to verify. Figure each package to be about 2.5 lbs...
