I've always had luck using internal temperature. I think I'll still use it but start concentrating on how it feels and poke it with my instant read and start training myself to go by feel instead of relying on just my probe.

Probably just soaked long enough to draw out the blood that is by the thigh bones at times. My buddy par boils his chicken to get rid of this before making fried chicken. He learned it from an old lady who he said made the best fried chicken he has ever had.

My best Briskets have been injected with the injection from howtobbqright.com. Foiled at 165 degrees, pulled off at 200 degrees, and rested for an hour in a cooler. I've never had a bad or a dry brisket this way. Ever since I started injecting they have all been very moist and delicious.

John, Tony has a good point as well. My recommendation was if your top grate was hotter than your lower to try to get them to cook a bit more evenly in the same amount of time. Larger ones in higher heat etc. You could always move them to the upper rack when the smaller ones are resting in a cooler.

I always use it but have read that without the water the bottom grate is much hotter. I'm sure someone else on here has personal experience with a dry pan.

My upper grate is hotter by 12 degrees over the lower using the water pan. I do smaller on the bottom and larger on the top myself.

Andy, in Eastern Market in Detroit some of the slaughter houses share the same streets as the Meat Markets. I've seen them coming in fresh numerous times. Not saying I haven't had previously frozen but I think buying in a place like that it's less likely. The market god back over 200 years...

Cool video, however I'll just keep making my own before I wait in a three to four hour line LOL.......I waited four hours once to get into an alleged famous place for ribs and was disappointed that I make them better. I'd love to try Franklins but not thinking I'd get there at 0700 for a 1100...

Remember your upper and lower grates will be two different temperatures as well. Good luck, Ken

I'm sure you will get varying responses. One option Brisket on lower grate, nothing on top grate, add ribs when you have about 5 hours to go on Brisket. Or start Brisket on top solo, when the ribs need to go on move it to the lower rack and add ribs to top rack. Or three buy a second WSM and...

John , thats funny and that's how I am however..............every time I went to Costco I'd see people buying the three packs of BB's where u can only see the top one. I asked about 100 people if they ever had a bad slab hidden and the answer was always no. Finally my wife said would you just...

My buddy has been buying a brand (unsure on name) frozen at a large party store for a similar price and he says they are just fine. He is not as picky as me and is retired with three kids in College so he appreciates the savings. I'll ask him the name and report back.

Keep it fun, I just checked this for the first time since joining this board and want to compete. Don't ruin it on my first run LOL

Yes, mine has a nut on it like my instant read or so I thought. I should have said tested it when it was new. It showed the right temp for boiling water so I didn't turn the nut. I just assumed I could do it the same way as my instant read but I use ice water for that since thats what the...

I found them and voted , Thanks

I didn't see any pictures. Do they get posted somewhere else?

So I missed this one, when is the next one?

Monty, your upper grate temperature is higher than your dome temperature like J Hass too? I calibrated mine when it was new and then never checked it again. Maybe I better do a re check. It's been a long time since I checked grate temps as well. I usually do dome and internal.

I've done smaller packers before, and plenty of flats but nothing 17lbs, Ken

Yeah, it's a small family owned home and garden center. I was shocked that they did that. It was supposed to be only one bag of lump but they threw in a second bag that had been ripped in shipping but was still full. The price was exactly the same as it was at other stores and included free...
