Well thanks to this thread, I ended up buying a brisket and pork belly for tomorrow. F&DB is spending all of my money.

Score the fat side of that pork belly all the way down to the meat like a checker board (bite size) then cover in rub.. i smoke my on 250 it needs about two to three hrs on the BGE and a 30 min rest. I normally put it on a nice wooden cutting board for appetizers. Let people just pull off a bite size square. One of my favorite things to cook with company coming over. It’s delicious combination of smoky flavorful crispy fat and tender meat.. melts in your mouth..
dammit I’m about to put my slippers on and go get one!

135am and I'm just getting around to seasoning the smoker. Gonna have to get up pottery early in the morning to get the brisket going by game time.

I'm thinking pork belly burnt ends and then maybe the brisket after half time

Hope yours didn't have the small leak between the two main pieces like mine did. I have it sealed up now with a high temp caulk. Just got the brisket trimmed and rubbed down.

Think I'm going to run with both dampers at the 2 position, which held around 280 degrees during the seasoning burn.

I still don't get slicing the entire brisket at one time. Aside from getting cold I feel like the slices would begin to dry out.

did you hang your brisket?




Could have used that second grate. Could only fit about half the pan in so I'll swap them around 2pm..

I tried, and out didn't fit even with the diffuser out. Been holding 300 degrees with the dampers at 2 since 630. Very happy with the performance so far.

You don’t want a white ashy smoke. You want your wood to burn. A clean smoke with just a hint of blue is what you’re Looking to achieve. Fire management is one of the most important parts of smoking meats.

Thicker white smoke will produce a bitter taste in the meat.

Just took the first batch of burn ends off.

Had to discipline myself to stop at one. The rest of them are on the smoker now.

Suggestions on this first batch? I bought some cheap pepper jelly but not sure how to finish them.



I put them in the oven on warm and will add the rest around 5pm or so.

I'm doing the brisket at 250. Its at 144 now so I'm hoping it will be done in time.

Bring the wine

CAD, I was able to use the grate from my Pit Barrel as a second cooking level, so I have rack of burnt ends going on the bottom with the brisket wrapped up top.

It's 158 degrees at 3pm. Starting to worry. I may wrap it and bring it inside to finish in the oven.
