    1st brisket, yuk

    Connective tissue takes time to break down so the smaller the brisket (3 1/2 pounds) the less effective any time guide will be. Connective tissue just takes longer than 4 hours to break down and when it is not given the time needed the brisket will be dry and tough. On a small brisket flat...

    At 300 to 350 pit temp will take aprox 15 min a pound. Measure internal temp in the thigh rather than breast. Takes thigh meat a little longer to finish than breast meat. Jim

    Healthy Fatties???

    I posted a Turkey/chicken hab sausage a couple of years ago that has no fat added. I use thighs for sausage because the fat content is plenty for our purpose. Jim

    Dry Brisket

    Once the brisket reached 186 internal you should have wrapped it but it should have come off the cooker and let rest in a dry cooler for approx 4 hours. By putting back on the cooker and taking to 207 internal over cooked the brisket and dried it out. I pull at 190 internal and foil to go into...

    Coffee Grinding Spices Removes Flavor?

    Jason If the onion powder was clumpy it means it has gotten moist and more than likely been around a while. Age, moisture, direct sunlight storage and other things will cause spices to lose their flavor. Fresh spices don't lose flavor from grinding. Jim

    Strike 3, tough ribs

    David Based on your explanation of the cook as Dan said it was a 6 to 7 hour cook. There are foiling techniques that will cut the overall time and work very well. Once they are tender if you keep cooking they will dry out but the moisture released while becoming tender is the moisture we are...
