that the easiest way to great smoked brisket is the overnight method using the Weber Smokey Mountain.

Load it up at 10 PM and go to bed. Perfect brisket when you wake up. Remove from cooker and wrap in foil until ready to dine.

Too easy.

Waaaaay too good.

I've been doing mine in the smoker for about 3 - 4 hours and then wrap it up and finish it in the oven.  I know it's cheating and not the "pure" way to cook/smoke one but it gets the job doen and I don't have to worry about burning my house down overnight.

I don't smoke brisket in the house. I put the Weber out back on a concrete patio. ;)

Toad, we still dont have a smoker ;) but we are getting closer

and we grilled allmost every 2nd. day. There is this smoker-wagon
i plan to buy, its hughe and a bit expensive, but its a dream
you can grill direct or indirect fire & smoke. I need the ok from my Gf,
you know our baby is priority #1 right now.
Me and my grilling friends and the beer is priority #2 ;)

Ghost, you are right. Beer, friends and grilled/smoked food are an instant good time. It's great fun and is better than most restaurant fare.

I don't know if you want to get into smoking; I don't know if you can order through Amazon but if you can, I highly recommend this smoker. It'll easily feed 10-12 on one load. It hardly needs any tending as the "overnight" method shows. It's just about foolproof for good smoked meat.

Toad, I got a problem. The racks to my smoker have some rust, can I sandpaper it down and put foil on it w/o any worries?

that stuff clogs the arteries and shortens life, but what a great life it is.

The proper method is mesquite wood fire with a waterpan buffer. Put on at 10pm, uncork a fifth of Maker's Mark, and consume. When you wake up it's done.

Some rust is no problem. When they start to look really corroded all over and leave orange smears over everything they touch, buy new ones.

I use a wire grill brush on mine and then wipe them down with olive oil (paper towel shreds out so I use an old washcloth).


Heck, if you use them often enough, a good coat of BBQ grease will always be present and you just need to heat them up to about 225 for 20 minutes and start grilling or smoking. Just enough to boil the germs off.  ;)

Did a job for an older guy last year. Not sure what nationality he was by the accent but was probably Portuguese because there is a heavy population of Portuguese and Russian (of all things) in that town. And he sure ddint sound russian LOL
I dont know  but he made GREAT home made smoked sausage.

His smoker was old school. 3 -55 gallon drums welded together one end one on top of the other with a series of hinged doors and different doodads from hooks to shelves where he claimed he smoked just about anything he wanted.

Since I baught a house, I was thinking of making a more permanent one out of brick.

Not sure if I'd ever get around to it but I'd be able to incorporate all the changes I'd want to make myself like a seperate door for charcoal and swap out LP burner.
