    Hot and fast brisket failure

    Hi all, being from Texas originally I have done many briskets before and they were Okay. I had always done them the same way, low and slow and never trimmed any fat. Today I decided to try the hot and fast method and things did not turn out very good. I read the procedures on hot brisket and...

    Anyone ever regret the 22.5?

    Dont know if this helps or not but something else to think about is if you buy it on Amazon you can find the 22 priced around $350 a lot of the times and I occasionally see the 18 marked down to $275 but that is not that often so even at that price you can get the much bigger for only $75 more

    iQue 110 Review & Questions

    Howdy, I got my unit in January and had problems from day 1, originally I was led to believe that it was because of the outside temps and the fan sucking in sub zero air. Sometimes it works OK but I seem to have a lot better pit control not using it. I have not done the boiling water test with...

    Mixed (read poor) results

I have done a single butt numerous times with decent results but the first time I did more than one at the same time, my luck was not very good. With mine when it reached 195 I pulled them off because the...

Let me start with saying I have done several Boston butts in the past on other smokers I...

    question regarding unsanctioned contests

    Mark that is a fair question and I think Russ was right in what he said especially the telling lies and having fun. But to go with all that, some of the main factors in my decision is that I consider the non-sanctioned as practice or like a backyard contest. Probably the main factor however is...

    question regarding unsanctioned contests

    Thanks Russ and others for your comments. Russ you nailed it with this one contest for sure and that is the one that worries me. I am a KCBS certified judge and have judged several contests, but I have judged one place that has a "non-sanctioned" contest for the past few years and they...

    question regarding unsanctioned contests

    Loosely based on KCBS rules, and did not pay KCBS sanctioning fees. Usually it is members of the organizing party or community members that are judges.
