Just added my pin as well. My first shot at beef brisket. Wish me luck!

Matt thanks for the link. That is great information!

Thanks guys, I'll give Costco a call. Interesting that you mentioned full packers vs flat cuts. I've been trying to quickly get up to speed on what I should get and I think I've decided on just flat cuts. But I'm willing to listen to arguments for the full packers. Your thoughts? Thanks, Brad

Fellow smokers, I'm all set to tackle a beef brisket this weekend, or at least I thought I was. I have been buying all of my meat from Costco so far, but I just told a buddy at work that I was going to try brisket, and he told me he didn't think Costco carried it. So I figured no worries, I'll...

Thanks Chuck, that's probably what I will do. I imagine if I load it full of charcoal, I'll have enough burn time to do all 4 chickens and then the salmon separately. Since I'm on the Right Coast and you're on the Left Coast, you'll have to settle for a picture of your plate!

Going to use my WSM for the third time this weekend. I was so happy with the smoked chicken I did that I'm going to try that again. Instead of just 2, I'm going to do 4. My wife has been after me to try salmon, so I was thinking with the 22" I would have enough room to do all 4 chickens on...

Welcome aboard Rick. Met my wife in Johnson City while in college! This place is great. Only been here a few weeks myself and it's helped me out tremendously already.

Yes I did brine them. Very basic brine of salt, sugar, black pepper, and Cheyenne pepper. Yes boating in Smfd is a lot of fun in the warmer months.

Hey James I did watch a lot of that game and I'm glad I picked them to win in my bracket! My first try with butts went ok...B/B- if I were grading myself. I think my main problem was I didn't put enough coals in at the start. It kept a steady temp of around 230 from 9:30pm til 6am. I was...

Ok I get it...I should have put my first name in my username! lol So I'll have to settle for the next best thing since it doesn't look like I can edit it. It's in my signature now.

Thanks Keith...good to know. I'll put them on around 8pm tonight then and check them off and on during the late games of the tourney!

Thanks to all...one last question. If I'm going to do 4 butts, roughly how many hours should I expect to have them on? 8? Was thinking about putting them on around midnight tonight and checking them around 6am.

Thanks Keith!

Thanks Chris I appreciate the feedback.

I am going to smoke 4 bone in butts tomorrow on my 22in WSM. A friend of mine just told me that they should be ready at 165-170. I read a recipe on this website that said to cook them til 190. With them being bone in butts, I want to make sure I cook them good enough for the bone to come out...
