Beer Count.....5 (4 boston lagers....and 1 saint arnolds DR12)

Small brisket is at 155.......big brisket (no thermometer), my guess is at 135....

Alright, keeping everyone up to date......... Beer Count-1 (got 2 cases of Sam Adams for the long hall) Start Time-1:30 PM Temp-240 Biskets- 15lb and 9lb Rub- Old Brisket #2 (Texas BBQ Brand) Just before placing smaller Bisket in..... http://i1191.photobucket.com/albums/z468/Astrobeerman/IMG_2013020...

Sounds good Berryman. Let me know, so I can gather material.

Thanks fo all the advice guys. This should be my fist all nighter.....woop woop
Good thing I'm stacked with homebrews.......lol

anyone have any idea approx on how long this will take?
In other words, do I add the pounds and figure a time with that, or do I say the 15lb brisket time will govern (and the smaller one will get done within that time) and approx the time of the 15lber?
Thanks for help.

That big brisket dwafs that little guy......lol

Here is an update......I placed the wrapped briskets to see how the briskets would lay on cooking day Well, the big briskeett could not be on bottom rack (bc top rack would be leaning on it) nor top rack (bc lid would not close)....so in essence they must go next to each other on the lower ack....li...

I've got a monster of a Brisket (15lbs) I'm gonna smoke and came accross a 8lb brisket at store. It was miss weighed and I could not resist buying...... Well I've got 2 racks in my UDS at 7" and 4" from top plus a baffle (pizza plate). What would be the best way to smoke both at same time, if I can?...

Not sure how long it stalled in that high 140s.....

Well this is actually what happened fo me: My temp control for center of UDS was a analog thermometer. It was the temp gauge that is used when frying a turkey. Its long but was not touching any grate or anything. Basically it was suspended....and when it all stabilied, stayed in the 250 range. I use...

Woop woop......came out FABULOUS.....my only thought was "why is my smoke ring so small? And how can I get it bigger" Ithe fact that my temps weren't fully in control at first could have contributed to a small ring Anyy ways........here it goes http://i1191.photobucket.com/albums/z468/Astrobeerman/I...

I'm using Head County Championship rub, setting at 225 (wanna point out there is about a 50-60 deg temp ddiff near wall and center...that's crazy to me).......9#s.........when internal gets to 155 wraping in foil with coke inside.....then putting back......at 175....unwrap......finish at 190-195.......

Here she is guys.........thoughts?
Gonna try my first brisket tomorrow........oh CANNOT wait

Thans for the help everyone.

Bout to paint the outside. As far as inside is concerned, is peanut oil preferred when ubbing down the inside,, or is any oil fine? Thanks again

It actually isn't that heavy. Here we are half way, me and pops

Can I use rebar for my basket? Believe rebar is basic carbon steel.
Thanks

I put this lid on the drum....half way.....and after a bit....the blackness shiney stuff got burnt off.......will do that....and hopefully watever was on it.....will burn away......damn its hot

Damn it.......I think I did something wrong..... Well, I ran out of wood, as from story above, and I went searching for more wood. I went in my garage, and pulled out a couple 2x4s and a couple of compressed wood sheets......very small section of compressed wood......like a 3 by 4.....I broke it up ...

I am about 4-4.5 hours into my burn and am out of wood........a pic of the drum is below I dnt think that bottome third will fully get the paint off.... I used 3 pallets......flame was full blown....top 2/3rd is clean as a whistle..... Thoughts on where to go from here? Shld I get more wood? Do you ...

I'm bout to burn out my UDS. Was it me or did everyone else struggle to dismember these damn pallets....
I'm so tired I might put off the burn till tomorrow.........hopefully it doesn't rain.

Coconut ribs......ugh....lol
Thanks for the tip......here is the lid....the stuff is basically a rubber basket of sorts...that basically sticks from the back side....doubt it can stand the heat.....pun intended....lol

Appearantly this stuff is used to make popcorn at movie theatres.....interesting

They looks sweet......good job

Just got my first 55 Gal Drum which was used to ship coconut oil for my UDS build. I'm excited to get this going. I guess my first couple of questions would be: With this shipping coconut oil (and no liner), do I need a full burnout? The barrel still has reminents of the coconut oil, any idea how to...

Thanks everyone on the welcome.
