    Agreed. I use a Weber iGrill that pairs with an app on my phone. It has room for up to four probes. I always put one at the grill surface, and at least one in the meat.

    Dome thermometers are very inaccurate. If I have a big piece of meat in the egg, I will sometimes drop another thermometer probe into the daisy wheel hole up top to see if there is a marked difference between the heat at the grill surface and the upper part of the chamber. But ultimately, the meat temperature guides most of my decisions.

    This is all good advice/info. I too use the iGrill. Can't go wrong with cooking by temp with a probe in the right place. I also use more than one oven probe on large pieces of meat like pork shoulders or brisket. This doesn't affect how long you cook, you still pull it at your desired temp. The extra oven probes just help you know whether or not your cooking at the desired internal temperature if you're trying to cook something low and slow at 220* for example.

    Ok, which one of you knuckleheads is responsible for this one:

    Brined for 24 hours then smoked in pecan. While cooking, it was stuffed with apple, lemon and onion.

    Do you brine/inject all your meats, or just turkey? I never do but I’m probably just justifying my lazy nature by not doing it.

    I've never brined anything but birds. I usually inject pork if it is for a competition, but often only rub if it is for home. Lazy nature is infectious.
    That being said...per the turkey, I will never cook one again without brining. It's that worth it.

    Shelter in place plan: I ordered two American Wagyu packer cuts and they should be delivered today. Not because I am good enough to do them justice — I am not — but I figured if I’m stuck at the house I might as well go big. And trying to find any meat besides ground turkey is kinda tough last time I ventured to the store. Plus, I smoked two Boston butts a few weeks ago and SonPK has pulled all of it out of the freezer and eaten it.

    I used to turn my nose up at brisket because “barbecue is pork.” And that is true. BBQ is always pork. But brisket is it’s own magical thing too. I’ve become a big fan.

    I'm an Eastern NC bbq fanatic, but have been wanting to drum up enough courage to try a brisket. I'm scared of it because my family has only had brisket from Adam's roadside bbq in Goldsboro which is really hard to compete with. I'll probably give it a go during this shelter in place.

    I am a convert.

    You want a whole packer cut and not just the brisket flat they sell in the grocery stores if your smoker will hold it (about 12-20 pounds before trimming). I can send you some smoking notes but there are some good videos on YouTube too about trimming, temps, wrapping, etc.

    I feel compelled to note that we have tested out Katz's Delicatessen pastrami delivery, and it works great, despite current circumstances...not cheap, but world class pastrami delivered to your door...get three pounds and delivery is free...(also get a half loaf of their rye bread, it's basically full loaf size)...this is taking the place of going out to eat, gotta spend $$$ on good food somehow...

    I don't think there needs to be any competition between the two...two different but extremely delicious meats.

    How did this get split off from the primary BBQ thread on the main board?

    Exactly, and if you are lucky, the beef comes right to you...

    I did one of these last Saturday, ate a bunch and made the rest into chili. It came out a lot better than the first one I did, just perfect.

    Nice!

    are you able to find them in stores where you are, or do you have to get them shipped? I can get CABs here but for Wagyu need to order (usually Huntspoint or Snake River Farms). Can get choice packer cuts at the stores usually but everyone is out here.

    Good thing I keep a deep freezer stocked. Time to bust out some deer or bear for a few meals.
