    Brisket stacked on Butt

    Steve That's the way it's done, really. You come up with something *you* think is cool. If it can be repeated by any of us, you're on to something. Obviously, if you can repeat it first you can convince more folks to try it out. I did a primal cut brisket (bones and all attached) I had the...

    Container size for brining

    I find a turkey roasting bag is kinda turkey-sized and works perfectly, and you need considerably less liquid to cover the bird. I usually put the bagged bird on its back (I don't eat the back ) in some container in case it leaks.

    Corned Beef... Round Roast

    I've tried making my own with topside round. I didn't measure temperature, and I'm pretty sure it was pre WSM (for me), but it was a bit dry and tough. I'm not sure that taking it to a higher temperature would result in tender pastrami.

    Reducing cooking time by cutting meat into smaller pieces?

    Sort of. The butcher I called took the liberty of cutting it for me. More bark and slightly drier (maybe) but it cooked in less time. Unless you have some reason such as a deadline to meet I would cook 'em whole.

    What If . . .

    I believe the BBQ FAQ mentions cooking for 1 hour at 135*F then bringing the temp up to standard 225*F, I've tried it and didn't notice any profound difference on pork shoulder, but I did with ribs. Found it here Look about a third of the way down the page. A lot of talk about ribs in this...

    Question about ash buildup

    Using a good quality lumpwood, or even a mixture of lump an briquettes will solve any ash problems. I've even done two overnights without dumping the ash (mistake, I forgot to dump the ash).

    Primal cut -- Brisket

    BUMP Sorry about the photos, it fixed now. on edit: I was sure the photos were working ... someone had commented on the size. I'm losing my mind (must be the smoke) because I posted essentially the same thing twice, what a muppet! They say the mind is the second thing to go ... I don't...

    Brisket - Primal cut

    A couple weeks ago I went wild in the butcher shop, I decided to cook a brisket and baste it with a sacrificial pork shoulder. Good idea all around. I've had problems getting a decent cut of brisket over here, they like to roll em, so they're flats. If you try to negotiate further to get a...

    What causes the smoke ring?

    Hi Alan Oxygen will bind with myoglobin to form oxymyoglobin, and carbon monoxided has an even greater affinity. This compound is not very stable and will break down to metmyoglobin which is rusty brown in colour. Combustion of wood forms nitrogen dioxide and nitrous acid in the presence of...
