A small 3 store grocery chain has USDA prime briskets on sale starting tomorrow at $2.98lb. I have never bbq’ed a brisket before nor really have use for a whole one. I was thinking of cutting one into thirds if I buy. Appreciate your ideas on how to cut it? TIA...BG

I like to trim all the fat off and cut the tri-tip into 2 pieces right at the black line shown in the pic above. I use (like) a 50/50 mix of McCormick Grill Mates Montreal Chicken and Steak seasonings. To bbq, I the sear both sides of the meat over very hot coals only about 2 minutes, then...

On the SJ yesterday, grilled a sirloin steak seasoned in a homemade marinade. Poured hot coals into a Weber stainless steel vegetable basket instead of the charcoal grate. Used the Weber Gourmet sear grate on top of the regular cooking grate. Closed the bottom vent to about a third open and...

Using a Smokey Joe and a full bed of charcoal, is it possible to do a reverse sear by using the vents for temperature control? How would you do it? TIA...Bailey
