So what I discovered is that I suck at taking photos, but pretty good at smoking briskets. The brisket was in the cooler for 5 hours, it was at 158f when I got it out for slicing. It was very moist and tender with excellent flavor. Don't think I would change anything next time. I sliced the...

It's off the smoker and resting comfortably in the cooler awaiting dinner service. Can't wait to try it, it probed like butter and felt very soft when I picked it up. It was on the smoker for 12 hours total at an avg temp of 265, pretty much what I was shooting for. I'll post some pictures when...

Woke up at 6 to find the wsm at 268f, perfect, I love my smoker. I sprayed cider vinegar on the brisket periodically for about 2 hours and then wrapped in butcher paper. Not sure why the picture is not working.

OK, it's on, I'm going to hang out for a bit to stabilize the smoker temp then I will toddle off to bed. I have all alarms turned off so as to not disturb my beauty sleep.

anyone else up at this hour? I'm firing the wsm for a brisket cook, it has been a few years since I cooked a brisket on the wsm. I cooked one last week for my nieces 40th birthday party on my sisters weber grill. It was a smashing success and was gobbled up quickly. But it got me hankering for...

Don't use the ceiling fan, my brother-in-law did this on his screened porch and all it did was push the smoke lower. Once he turned the fan off the smoke stayed up then eventually seeped out the screen.

I enjoy cooking, so instead of going out I would prefer to stay home, cook and enjoy visiting with my daughter and granddaughter. The problem is I don't know what to cook, My mother-in-law is visiting and I've already made some of the classics (rib-eyes, baby back ribs, butts, chicken) so I'm...

Put 2 2"x2" pieces in the pot when making greens.

I'm planning on building a cart to store my smoking and grilling gear. I'll make it out of wood and put casters on it for mobility. My grilling and smoking area is just outside the basement door, the area is protected by a deck above but is not weatherproof so the cart will be stored in the...
