    First ever Brisket smoke.

    Tasty looking, that's for sure. Next time, try the high heat method. 5-6-7 hours and you're done

    Beer question from someone who knows nothing about beer

    Just pre-portion it, let go flat and freeze it for next time. Beer freezes at -2 C / 28 F so no problemo.

    Now THIS is a smoker

    Now this is a smoker. Their longest is 22 feet long, the shortest 9 feet. They use propane tanks, the kind that can fuel a house, not those little 22 pounders used on grills. https://www.cbc.ca/amp/1.7118030

    Making tallow any tips?

    I used (too much) water so it may have taken longer than necessary. I poured the finished product through coffee filters (very very slow) and when it cooled, there was about a half inch of water trapped at the bottom. Not concerned at all as the tallow prevents any air getting at the water to...

    Ribs sticking to rack solution?

    Came across the old onion trick. Might have to re-think my cold grate method.

    Ribs sticking to rack solution?

    Yes, coil them and chine-side down. Always some meat there so... And ribs are put on cold rack after rubs and let set there while smoker gets up to temp. I agree on the non-stick creation idea but ...

    Ribs sticking to rack solution?

    My ribs always stick to the rack which a)leaves a mess and b)rips some meat off. I've tried spraying with Pam but not really ideal as the wire is well, thin and needs to be sprayed outside. I'm considering parchment pre-cut sheets (about 8" diameter) that are used in air fryers to place coiled...

    Dinosaur BBQ Garlic Dill Pickles

    Sorry BUT it's pickle time again. Just made another 4 lb batch (remember, the recipe as provided is enough for 3 lb IMO based on two batches so far so judge accordingly). Cooling as I type 😁

    How far ahead do you plan?

    Meh. 2 hours if not frozen. 3hr if it is 😉

    Looking for help with cooking times (brisket)

    yes-wrap at 160 (or so) and pull at 200-205. Time? Well, every brisket is different BUT I've found that a 10lb trimmed piece will take ~ 2 hr less than a 13lb one. For a 10lb, I'm guessing 4-5 hr?? not counting resting time at the end

    Looking for help with cooking times (brisket)

    Next time, consider high heat with a wrap. 5-6 hr and boom, you're done (other than the post-cook rest) (y)

    Finally got a Premium Brisket for cheap

    Oh, I know what she means. The fat between the 'parts' is just soooooo flavourful. I tried to convince SWMBO to just try it. She did BUT I got the rest of her's as she has the mind set "you don't eat fat like that". More for me 😁

    Finally got a Premium Brisket for cheap

    Yah, I was very aware of that. Had watched a "pro" prep their brisket. Man, he cut so much meat off with the fat "to square it up" prior to smoking. It looked perfectly square (he even cut some of the point off to flatten it) but wow, so much waste. I digress. We'll see how the point turns...

    Finally got a Premium Brisket for cheap

    Pulled it wrapped from smoker and into a roasting pan wrapped in towels for 90 min (still wrapped in b/paper). Last one I had was select and followed the exact same procedure (I make notes on all my smokes) and this one was no different. Dunno. It'll be a while till I get to the point...

    What’s the deal with charcoal in 2023??

    Paid for through taxes on our salaries.

    What’s the deal with charcoal in 2023??

    You guys, you don't know how good you have it. Don't move north. At our local Home Depot we get ONE 18lb bag for $18 (that's $13.60 US). And it NEVER goes on sale, even in the fall before the snow flies.

    Finally got a Premium Brisket for cheap

    Well, to be honest I'm kinda disappointed. Claimed to be prime (not select) and well, I start at the flat (end) and work towards my favourite (point). It's got a ton of flavour and is perfect 'tender' wise but well, we know the flat is the lean end. This was not juicy at all, in fact I needed...
