    Help: How to Prevent Wood Chunk Flare Ups

    Brisket Too Fast?

    I'd actually be concerned that you don't have enough time. Also, mopping will slow it down further.

    Brisket Too Fast?

    It's going to stall out around 150 and take hours to go up 20-30 degrees. Don't worry.

    UDS vs. 22.5" Kettle - what do you use?

    i use my kettle with a smokenator when i am doing ribs or chicken. given that i have the somkenator the 22.5" WSM feels like overkill if it's 3 or fewer racks of ribs or just a couple chickens. actually one brisket or butt even feels sad and lonely all by itself in the WSM but i can't get 20...

    pork spare ribs didn't turn out as good as last time...

    mine never come out consistent across the whole rack but i've always assumed that was because the rack isn't of uniform thickness all the way across. i'll be interested to see what people have to say about that.

    How often to add wood?

    I add wood in the same way regardless of hat it is. The only thing that varies is the amount. I split it in to 4 equal amounts and add it as soon as I put the meat in and then every 30 minutes there after until it's all gone. So it's all in by the 2:00 mark.

    Smoke Ring

    I know this will seem a little OCD but I weigh my smoke wood. I use 16 ounces for brisket and I try to add it in equal amounts at time 0 and every 30 mins thereafter for the first 2 hours and no more for the rest of the cook. I understand the temp issue but I was under the impression that it...

    Brisket Fail. Why ?

    when you say the thicker end, do you mean in the point or the flat? i insert my probe into the thicker end of the flat at a 90 degree angle to the piece of meat and get good results that way. as for your second question, i keep the smoker near a ledge/shelf on my fence so i can place it there...

    brisket bark question

    no expert yet but i've decided i dont like foiling, assuming i have the time. i just did a 12lb brisket for almost 20 hours. no foil obviously. i purchased a higher quality of meat and it was just as moist as foiling a lower quality piece of meat. so for me i'm just spending the extra money on...

    Brisket timing.....

    i haven't noticed that it changes timing per se. but, having two large pieces of meat in there will make it take even longer to get up to temp. plus if you have one on the bottom rack that one will take longer as it is not as hot on that rack as it is on the top.

    minion method question

    a full lit chimney? really? and it's not getting hot enough? i just did a brisket with a clay saucer in the pan (no water obviously) and i started with a full bag unlit in the ring and placed 20 lit coals on top of it. I pretty much had to full close all the bottom vents in order to keep it...
