We hosted a Derby Party this year, and I wanted to serve Brisket, and knew I would have a full day prepping for the party. So, I decided to cook a brisket on Friday, and reheat for party. Was iffy about cooking a day ahead, but pretty happy with how it turned out. Had done last brisket on...

looks good - I have some in the frig for Easter Saturday lunch. I have always cooked direct, turned every 4-5 minutes, but your indirect sounds good. When grilling indirect, do you turn? or just leave on grill and wait for temp to hit?

Got it - thanks!

Timothy - thanks for the info. Nothing showing up on PM yet, not sure if there is a delay?

Thanks all for info. Label shows Honeysuckle White, and it was in the refrigerated section. Maybe previously frozen? "Basted with approximately 3% of turkey broth, salt..." Timothy - what is the kettle "old Weber technique". I also have a Weber kettle I could use (and a Weber gas)...

I went to grocery yesterday, and the only whole turkeys they had were very large (over 20 lbs). I bought the smallest one, 21.5 lbs. Fresh turkey, not frozen. Was planning to salt & smoke. Any guidance, tips, warnings, etc? I'm sure it will take a long time! Here is what the Honeysuckle...

Jim, That was the first one I saw, and have both in my Amazon cart until I decide which one. Thanks

Thanks Chris - looks pretty good!

Just added a Spirit E-330, and enjoying it. (also have wsm and kettle, just sold performer). Anyway - thinking about buying griddle, thinking I will use it for weekend breakfasts quite a bit. I've looked at these two: The Weber version...

Another possibility is shorten cooking time by using high heat cook. http://www.virtualweberbullet.com/brisket4.html I went this route for Christmas brisket o rave reviews and it was my first brisket.

Tim - 3 of the 4 from Craigslist - really cheap. and the Q from Target for $99 at clearance time.

Thanks all for the comments. Maybe I just need to expand my deck! Performer people - do you usually light charcoal in baskets, loose, or in a chimney? Side question - I have smoked burgers on the wsm, but not sure I ever really found a how to. Anybody seen a how-to/time guideline?

Made my way back to charcoal last year, finding WSM 18", blue kettle, and performer - all on Craigslist. Then found a Q1200 at Target for 1/2 price. Used the blue kettle, and the WSM almost exclusively. Used the performer sparingly, and never got the Q1200 out of the box. Have much...

Bottom empty, charcoal up top, or some variation?
