Turned out great! Fabulous bark. Another successful Smoke Day in the books

Fired up the WSM last night at about 9:30pm. Trying the Mr Brown pork butt. Never done it. Things are going well so far. Not planning on mopping. Hope it turns out just as good. Does anyone have experience with Mr Brown ?

Not sure if I had two stalls or not... I was sleeping and may have missed first stall... Update on brisket. It turned out good. Point was excellent. Flat had good flavor but may have been a little dry. It passed the tear test.

Smoke Day for me started last night. Got a 12 USDA Choice at Albertsons for $1.47. It went on at 10:30 last night.... Been monitoring and getting close to target temp. Had a weird stall pattern on this brisket...stalled at 190 and went down a few degrees and sat for about 4 hours. Never had...

Hello ! I have had my WSM about 10 years and love it!! What I don't love is the cleanup. I dislike cleaning the grates the most. When watching BBQ Pitmasters I noticed that many of the pros put their meats in aluminum pans. This would eliminate the grate clean up. Has anyone tried this on...

Just cracked first beer of the day.... (I was trying to be respectable and wait until after noon LOL):cool:

I did a brisket not too long ago and it was stiff also. I pulled it off at 190 in the flat and was sorry I did it. I think it depends on the meat. I went with a cheaper than normal cut and I think that was a factor. I would let it go for a while longer.

Smoker fired and coming to temp (Yes I know it needs a good cleaning) https://flic.kr/p/nHFGSF Ribs ready to go on..... Chicken and bacon wrapped stuffed poppers to follow. https://flic.kr/p/nKL7RK

Better late than never ! :)

Chris - Go ahead and give it a try. Be sure you do the brine - I think that made the difference. Also, I thought I would taste nothing but the Dijon mustard but it was very complimentary to the meat and smoke.

Tried the Cornell Chicken and it was a success. I did a slight variation and used Lawry's poultry rub instead. Had a little trouble with high heat in the smoker but I got it tamed and everything turned out great !

Go WSM & Go Texas Rangers !

Gonna fire up the WSM soon. Gonna try the Cornell Chicken for the first time!

Post your picture sporting your WSM 2013 shirt. Planning my menu now to include some smoked chicken.
