    Resting/Holding Brisket in Cooler (Trouble with dry flat)

    Think of it this way; every piece of meat you cook came from a different animal. You won't know how it was raised or how old it was or if there are other factors that will affect its tenderness. Remembering Donna's analogy of feeling like peanut butter will serve you much better than a temperature.

    Resting/Holding Brisket in Cooler (Trouble with dry flat)

    What grade was the brisket? The flat naturally has less internal fat than the point especially if you used a lower grade beef. That's why the big boys like to cook Waygu for competition, lots of internal fat. I have pretty good luck with Prime grade and sometimes choice can have good marbling...

    Deep frying on a gas grill ?

    I don't have a gas burner, but I have deep fried on a Cookshack pellet grill. It was just a matter of adjusting the heat to get the oil to 350°, if I remember right I had the grill set around 400° to accomplish that. A gas grill should work about the same.

    Dutch Oven in the WSM?

    I do baked beans in a DO in the WSM often. Even better when I have a ham or some ribs on the top rack to add some drippings.

    My first brisket cook is in the books.

    Did you have water in the pan? I'm guessing the bark was not dry when you foiled. In my experience once the bark is dry, or set, it usually won't go mushy again.

    Grill of a Lifetime

    I saw a post on FaceBook today that showed the box on the right side of the grill in the teaser that's out and speculated that it is a pellet grill. However, our local BBQ store posted that they can say that it IS NOT a pellet grill. The lid sure looks like a Kamado style

    Best ways to add coal to WSM?

    I use a folding camp shovel. I can get most of the way across on my 22", about to the middle on my 18", it's too big to go through the opening of my 14"

    I use a Party Q on my 18" most of the time. I do have an Auber Instruments and it works well, and has the advantage of having its own alarms.

    Disaster Preparedness

    Don't forget something to light the charcoal with! With practice you can make almost anything in your kettle that you can make on a stove top or in an oven.

    Boned in thigh or boneless?

    Only tried boneless a couple times, judges didn't like them at all. Same rub, sauce etc. as usual so the bone was the only thing different.

    Chef's Choice BBQ Comp

    Any rules? Some don't allow desserts. Seafood usually does well, the last one we did was won by pork sliders.

    Going to try a high-heat cook on my Mini

    It's been my experience that juices dripping on the coals of the mini will really drop the temp and have had better luck keeping higher temps with the drip pan in.

    When to start Brisket?

    Pull your Wagyu at 185° internal or it will be overcooked. With all the marbling I think it will cook faster than the average brisket. FTC (Foil, Towel, Cooler) should keep it hot enough you'll have trouble holding it with bare hands after 4 hours. From Paradise Lockers: There are a few...
