    Yup, he's crazy...


    like a fox. The dude may be coming in a little too hard and crazy but 90% of everything he says is correct.

    Sort of like Toof. But way smarter.

    Anytime and I have traveling pig cooker, just sayin.
    Just lit the lump and slowly adding larger pieces of hickory.
    In about 45 minutes when I have red coals and hickory chunks rolling it will go on
    and get heavy smoke for two hrs and then wrapped in foil for a few more hours with
    little smoke and 275 degrees.
    Roasted potatoes and corn on the cob with it.

    these are from the last 30 minutes. Now will "rest" wrapped in foil, wrapped in towel and placed in cooler for three hours.
    Important to "burp" the cooler every now and then. 200 to 205 degrees is the magic number for me.

    Now I can catch a few hours sleep. I will separate the flat from the point and slice against the grain.
    I like my brisket "Texas Style" on white bread w/ sauce. The end of the point will be chunked up for "burnt ends"
    Hope this thread helps someone, brisket is by far the hardest to do in my opinion.

    Out of curiosity, where did you pick up your brisket from?

    I prefer the one on St Andrews Rd, they are friendlier than the one in Lexington.
    They will bring several out of the back room for me to choose from.

    ECU,

    What brand of lump do you use? I use the Cowboy stuff in the brown bag that comes from Lowe's, but it seems like there's hardly any big chunks in their bags anymore. Thanks in advance.

    Pretty work! I threw a 10.5 lb. butt on the smoker at 4 pm Saturday and Foil/Towel/Cooler'd it at 7 AM Sunday morning while we went and got my daughter baptized. Got home and pulled it at 11 AM, needless to say I had 20 very happy guests. I've been wrapping my butts and briskets in butcher paper for the last year or so, give it a try sometime if you haven't already. I've noticed that you get a much more solid bark from the butcher paper

    Cowboy sucks, I use b&b from academy and FOGO, which is by far the best lump I have ever used.

    Western brand at Walmart actually isn't bad at all. 9$ for 30lbs and I have yet to find any rocks or other debris.

    Cowboy has gotten worse, just a bunch of small and thin pieces that don’t last
    long. I honestly just use the lump to get a bed of red coals and then
    I use nice 5 or 6 inch long pieces of real firewood that I walk out to the firewood
    Pile and whack off from a stick of hickory with the reciprocating saw.
    Last long and makes it easier to control the temp. The purpose of the foil wrap
    is to kill the smoke after I think it has had enough

    I ordered some a while back and have been impressed, burns a lot longer and the flavor from just the coals is pretty damn good. Lumps not quite as big as fogo but you get more for your money with the Prime deal. Im sold. Thanks..
