Goldie Posted May 2, 2013 Report Share Posted May 2, 2013 Long story short I was given almost 50 pounds of beef brisket by my wife's grandparents. I don't have a smoker, so I was wanting to see if anyone here would be interested in working out a deal. I provide the brisket, you smoke it up real nice and juicy like, and we split the yield. If you are on the East side of town or in Bexley, that would be even better.Let me know if you're interested. Otherwise I might be buying a smoker this weekend. But I don't really want to.Andrew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bad324 Posted May 2, 2013 Report Share Posted May 2, 2013 Buy one and you'll become addicted. Absolutely love having a smoker! I wish I was local cause I'd take you up on this in a heartbeat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ohdaho Posted May 2, 2013 Report Share Posted May 2, 2013 You dont need to buy an individual smoker...those those are nice. You can utilize a large charcoal grill using indirect heating and smoke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YSR_Racer_99 Posted May 2, 2013 Report Share Posted May 2, 2013 Brinkman electric smoker from Lowes/ Depot. Use it, keep it clean, sell it for half of what you paid for it. I did a bunch of ribs and a couple of briskets on mine. Decided I'd rather eat it at a restaurant, so sold the smoker on CL. But I wasn't given a bunch of free meat.

bowdog Posted May 2, 2013 Report Share Posted May 2, 2013 Subcribed, Been wanting to get into this smoking meat thing. Not sure if possible but we ride our quads all day then come back to camp and don't feel like cooking. I am hoping to put a nice piece of meat on in the morning and let it cook all day while we ride. Not to jack your thread but is this possible? Or do i need to tend to the smoker all day? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bad324 Posted May 2, 2013 Report Share Posted May 2, 2013 Get an electric or propane smoker and you can do just that. I've done recipes where you need to tend it and I've done some set it and forget it ones all with pretty good success Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pokey Posted May 2, 2013 Report Share Posted May 2, 2013 Brisket is a bit difficult to smoke and it consistently turn out really really good IMHO, but when it does it is fabulous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After startup and then 20 mins to get steady temp, you can go for 2-3 hours without filling the water.But lots of water is key. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jporter12 Posted May 2, 2013 Report Share Posted May 2, 2013 The last brisket I did could have used another hour or so. I put it on at about 2:00am and took it off around 4:00pm the next afternoon. I made a slightly spicy rub for it, and I got some pretty positive reviews from the few that got to try it!I have a Char-Broil electric vertical smoker. They run about $130, then about $10-20 more for a variety of wood chips. I also have a digital remote thermometer. I use it to monitor the temp inside the smoker for most of the cooking time. When the water level is getting low, the temp will climb. Add water, repeat a couple hours later! Later in the process move the temp probe to the meat until the temp is around 190F. I needed to let mine sit at that temp for a while, but I took it off too soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunner75 Posted May 2, 2013 Report Share Posted May 2, 2013 My wife's family and I butcher our own beef and pork in the fall and the spring. I myself usually get beef in the spring and pork in the fall. Seasonally this is when they are cheapest. I have a brine recipe that my grandfather passed onto me that makes for a great smoked brisket. The one thing I tend to use brisket for is jerky, or for some shredded beef sandwiches. When we smoke we do so the old fashion way in a cedar shed with your choice of woods and duration. If your going to get into smoking, the recombination of using a BBQ grill.

Goldie Posted May 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2013 I don't have a charcoal grill unfortunately, and really don't want to mess around with buying a smoker. Damn, I wish I could find someone local. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bad324 Posted May 3, 2013 Report Share Posted May 3, 2013 you can use a gas grill as wellif you need to just give it away ill be passing through cbus tomorrow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goldie Posted May 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2013 Fuck it. Decided I'll just go buy a smoker and see what happens. I'll have to split the slabs up though. Two of them are 17+ lbs. and the other is 13+. Maybe I'll just smoke the smaller one cut in half and see how I like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smashweights Posted May 3, 2013 Report Share Posted May 3, 2013 Just buy a weber one touch charcoal grill. They should be had for a bit shy of $100 and then you can grill or smoke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sapphy Posted August 2, 2014 Report Share Posted August 2, 2014 So I thought I would share more info about the brisket I am smoking today. Thursday evening I put it in a marinade I mad. Here it is1/2 C Olive Oil 6T Soy Sauce 3T Worcestershire Sauce 2t Ginger9 Cloves of Garlic crushed1/2 C Brown Sugar 6T Jack Daniels Spicy Brown Mustard 3/4c Jack DanielsIt going to cook ~10-11 hours @ ~250 degrees over a mixture of charcoal and Oak from old Jack Daniels barrels. The garlic is still laying on top of the meat. I use a Weber Vertical Smoker with a water pan in the middle. The marinade the brisket soaked in was emptied into this water pan. I will post how this all comes out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
