I have a dinner party Saturday for which I am making a brisket, and I'd like to have burnt ends. I was thinking I would cook so that the whole brisket is ready about 5 hours before the time I would serve it, then remove the point, put the flat wrapped in foil in an ice chest and throw the point...

Just picked up a nice 11 pounder from Wally World in York. FYI, I know both of the Supercenters in Lancaster have Briskets, although last time I looked they were only select and not very good. Then again, that was during the meat shortage. They had an 18.5 pounder at Wallyworld. I was...

Jeff, Did you try this out? I also live in Lancaster and saw these at the BJ's in Centerville. It sure looked like a brisket to me, but I wasn't sure. DO you know of any local sources for brisket? Only place I know of is Walmart.

Believe it or not, success! The brisket came out great. The flat was a little too tender so I had to make the slices thicker than I would have preferred, but it was still wonderful. I shredded the point for sandwiches (not enough fuel left for burnt ends, and I didn't feel like starting a new...

Oops. Around 5 AM the temp of the cooker was starting to come down (it was at 198), so I opened the vents and moved the coals around. I fell asleep before I could check it again, though, and I completely forgot to check the water pan. At 9 AM the pan was empty and the temp was 327! The...

OK, just did the 2 hour, 10 minute check. Smoker has been running hot all night, but this is the first time I've used it. Right now it's at 262; it had been in the 270s, so it's starting to slow a bit. I have all the vents closed right now (except the top, of course); I may crack one in an...

I put it on at 9:50 EST. Using Minion method to try and last me the whole cook. One of my coworkers had an old Brinkman smoker she no longer wanted so I have an extra-large water pan in there as well. Going to go keep an eye on temps and smoke me some brisket! Thanks for hosting this great...

Update -- I trimmed it and took off 1 lbs, 7 oz of fat. I then used the Midnight Brisket rub less MSG. I'm going to let it sit until tomorrow, put it in overnight and have it for dinner Sunday. Chris -- your brisket guide this month was most helpful. I had trouble following it without a...

Boscov's has digital Timex thermometer/timers on sale today. They're in plain packaging, and it looks like they were originally for Target (it says on the back they were packaged for Target). Normally $24.99 they are selling for $9.99. I picked up two at the Boscov's in Lancaster tonight...

Just got my replacement parts from Weber and now I'm going to cook my first brisket. I picked one up at Walmart, and it's 14.5 pounds. After reading some of Chris's recipes, however, I'm worried it might be too big for the WSM? Should I be worried? Also, I'm assuming I should count on taking...

Tom Did your WSM have any problems out of the box? Mine came from Amazon with a bad paint job and a small dent on the lip of the body. Weber is great and is sending me all new parts, but I wonder if this is isolated or if there is a bad batch. --Erik

I just went to put together my new WSM and first I noticed that the bottom part of the body (with the three vents) had a poor paint job. The paint ran into a big clump on the inside, and the rim had a spot with no paint whatsoever. The middle part had a dent on the rim and no paint, and paint...
