    Mother's Day brisket, with Kevin's coffee rub

    Doing my first brisket in years tonight, I've lost count, maybe 10. I'm also scratching one off the to do list that's 19 years old, Coffee-Cocoa Rub for Brisket. Always wanted to try it, never got around to it. I mixed it up today and got the brisket on, it smells great, I'm really looking...

    Brisket cooking time, 225 vs 275

    ya you're right, a 2lb brisket chunk wouldn't be tender in two hours though it wouldn't take 12 either, so just by math doesn't work, mass isn't the only factor, thickness is a factor too, I've done around 30 hour cooks on huge hunks of beef shoulder clod that are pratically ball shaped, for...

    How long can you safely wet age a brisket in the fridge?

    great info above, here's a couple more tibits I keep my cryopack meats in the beer fridge kept just above 0 (32) rather than the main fridge. It gets opened way less, -especially- since I don't drink any more 😁. In a busy house the main fridge can be a lot warmer, constantly trying to recover...

    Howdy! Just bought my first gas grill!

    Welcome Keith! Once I switched to charcoal I got rid of and didn't have a gas grill for many years, but eventually re-added one to the lineup for convenience, speed and practicallity Stuff you cook on it will probably taste weird for a while to you 😀, I always christen a new grill with a huge...

    Brisket cooking time, 225 vs 275

    just by math it's 22% more heat, your estimate reduces to 58 to 70 minutes per pound .... but you may find the stall to be significantly shorter than you may have experienced edit: just in case, stall is when the rate of internal temp increase decreases or even seems to stop, at any point after...

    90 Minute BB Ribs

    I've had much better results with wood chips in smoker boxes. I used to have a couple that were like 3" by 6".

    Need Help Want To Cook Baby Backs Semi High Heat With No Wrap On My Pellet Grill.

    hey Rich, So I've been sort of thinking about this for a couple weeks now. Remember we used to say 'friends don't let friends boil ribs'? I recently created a crock pot recipe that is dynamite and I like 'em as much as smoked ribs, and that really challenged me. Quick version: honey garlic...

    90 Minute BB Ribs

    Rich Dahl recently asked for a way to cook ribs faster and without foil wrapping in this thread: https://tvwbb.com/threads/need-help-want-to-cook-baby-backs-semi-high-heat-with-no-wrap-on-my-pellet-grill.98071/ I came up with a solution, using a method of grilling at a target temp of 400°F with...

    Smoked Ground Beef Tostadas

    Cutting it into 6 pieces created a ton of surface area for the smoke to get at, more than subtle it was certainly present without overpowering, I thought it was perfect. I used oak hardwood lump and hickory smoke wood foe this one.

    Smoked Ground Beef Tostadas

    I woke up this morning wondering what to do for Cinco de Mayo. I had a 4lb tray of hamburger ready for meaty spaghetti sauce, then I came up with this idea. I took the tray of hamburger and cut it into six pieces, leaving it as loose as it came. Then I placed it in my Keg kamado, started a...

    Montreal Smoked Meat (Flavor Brine Cure Pumped)

    Greetings All, I obtained a nice 5lb trimmed flat and made some MSM last month, using my old recipe. Equilibrium flavor brine cure 9 days (no pump this time as the flat was 2" at most), made a saltless rub for it then rubbed and smoked under 200ºF for about 9 hours to 145ºF internal. Turned...

    Shawn W got me thinking

    Just to qualify my comments, not right or wrong, I sort of consider HH to be north of 325ºF myself. Another reason I still believe what Doug D taught me here that time is a factor in tenderizing is the example of grilling a pork shoulder butt or a beef blade steak. If you direct grill those...

    Brisket methods and tips?

    I probably should have mentioned for those who don't know me I rarely use my WSM any more but mainly my Keg kamado with dry pan. It's been years since I did WSM brisket. I've done in the tens of briskets, not hundreds and I've only tried high heat a few times like for brisket, pulled pork and...

    Brisket methods and tips?

    I prefer really low ... like 200ºF - 225ºF for great big fatty briskets (or beef shoulder clod for pulled beef) with the Texas crutch at 160ºF and some added liquid. Can't be beat IMO. Small lean briskets/pieces or smaller more lean cuts for pulled beef come out OK with high heat cooks, but it's...
