Okay, after reading the comments from all the mesquite haters on this thread https://tvwbb.com/threads/wood-selection-for-brisket-any-ideas.88826/ maybe I'll just stick with the crappy Embers briquettes and use some of my oak and apple smoke wood. I did read somewhere though that mesquite...

Good point, John. But I'm less concerned about that than how it performs as described above. I can always foil it halfway through the cook to prevent over-smokiness.

This topic is very timely for me! I plan to smoke a 7# brisket flat tomorrow (first time; I've only ever done whole—15# plus—briskets before). Unfortunately, the only experience I have with low and slow utilizes Original Kingsford briquettes, mostly using the Minion method and controlling the...

I'm about to buy a new ET-732 or 733 for my WSM, and I'll probably order a replacement smoker chamber probe for my old ET-73 since it is probably why that thermometer is acting erratically. I've read here (I think) and elsewhere that the probes are the weak link with these devices, and I seem to...

Thanks Joe! Good feedback and advice. Just an FYI for anyone interested: I was finally able to reach customer service at Weber (be prepared for a bit of a phone wait), and they have these damper kits for $10.20 plus tax. They currently offer free shipping as the warehouse is so backed up it...

Hello fellow BBQers...Happy 4th of July! I have a pre-2009 18-1/2" Smokey Mountain that needs new vent dampers. I've checked the schematics here http://www.virtualweberbullet.com/partschematic.html and noted the p/n as 78715. Does anyone know if the 63015 damper kit, which is used on later...

Great ideas, everyone! I was gonna do the lump in the middle thing until I read the cooking topic on "Brisket Selection & Preparation", which suggested simply folding the last few inches of flat under itself until it shrinks enough to flatten out. I did that and it worked great. What took me...

Shawn, that is one big honkin' slab! 25 pounds? Thanks for the ideas everyone! Cheers!

Thanks, Bryan! I hadn't thought of that. I like the foil suggestion, too. Cheers!

Okay you smokin' pros: My puny little 18.5" Smokey Mountain smoker is too small for this gargantuan brisket I picked up yesterday. So, can I fold over the flat or should I hack off enough of it so it will fit? (I really don't have time to get a new 22" smoker before this weekend, so please...
