I can't find the edit button for my original post, but here's the pictures. BW, I couldn't say for sure, but every source I Googled said to soak it, and as you well know, if it's on the internet, it must be true.

With all the corned beef in the stores this time of year, I decided to make my first pastrami. I got a small piece of corned brisket, about 3 1/2 lb. and soaked it overnight to de-salt it. Rubbed it with the standard cracked coriander and cracked pepper (plus a little this 'n' that). Smoked...

This one went about 13 hours at 220º-260º. It was 10.66 lb to start; ended up at 7.25#

Been a long time, so I figured I'd cook a New Year brisket Baby, it's cold outside! Nom Nom Plated Freezer ready

Lump...but not Cowboy brand (it burns too fast and makes too much ash).

Thanks, Cliff, for bumping this up. I made a batch today and it was awesome.

But the British Racing Green ones are faster!:mrgreen:

I don't think it will do the job. A kettle has the flange in the lid, so it overlaps the kettle. A WSM has the flange on the center section, so the lid fits inside the center. What BW said about cruising the yup neighborhoods on trash day. Also check Craig's list, especially next week after...

1-1/2 hour chicken wings definitely add up to not enough heat, and not enough heat is caused by not enough air or not enough fuel. If the vents are wide open, not enough air is not an issue. Are you using briquettes? Are you letting at least some of them get a nice coat of white ash before...

If you have air leaks, that will make the temp too high, not too low (too much oxygen getting to the fire). If you're getting a lot of smoke with just charcoal, it sounds like you have the bottom vents closed too much. The long cook time for chicken pretty much confirms this diagnosis. Time to...

One thing to remember is that the brisket will plateau at 160-170º for a l-o-o-o-ng time. Don't panic--that's when the magic is happening.

Na-a-a-a-h! Why do you think they made the British RACING Green one? To be the fastest, of course!

This timelapse video caputures the 25th anniversary of the Rolling Thunder "1st Amendment" Run in its entire 4-hour duration. Every motorcycle that participated is filmed passing by Marine Sgt. Tim Chambers, otherwise know as the "Saluting Marine". http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zZ1L-Q68 ...

After a very busy day, a commuter settled down in her seat and closed her eyes as the train departed Montreal for Hudson. As the train rolled out of the station, the guy sitting next to her pulled out his cell phone and started talking in a loud voice: "Hi sweetheart it's Eric, I'm on the...
