Hack No. 1: for my old as… butt - Take a nap. (I wasn’t able to do this with my last brisket/pork butt and I was so miserable…) So for my long cooks, I’m using a small cheap offset stick burner, I preheat the smoker at least an hour before I want to put the meat in. I want to get the fire stabilized. During that time, I’m finishing trimming the brisket and getting it seasoned. I always use a water pan. It doesn’t matter if I’m making summer sausage or brisket, using my offset or my Masterbuilt if it’s a long cook, I have a water pan in there. Hack No. 2: I usually have a Bluetooth headset on (one that transmits through the bone so I can still hear the fire and my surroundings (and head off the fire department who may have been called for “Smoke in the area” - embarassing.) Hack No. 3: Once I wrap, assuming I am wrapping, it goes into the Masterbuilt to finish. It’s not gonna get anymore smoke at that point so why waste wood and why not reprise Hack No. 1 and take a nap?

I guess the few problems as growing pains

@BSRULE For cured sausage like snack sticks or summer I 100% recommend sure gel, for fresh brats or ethnic or something I recommend Carrot Fiber. Sure Gel is actually adding protein so it makes protein extraction easier and carrot fiber is just working on moisture retention, which isn’t always what we want when making a snack stick.

@Chef I appreciate the tip

@blackbetty61 sorry, it is not. I had some free time to get the Android app done, but then everything went crazy and I haven’t had a single moment to get back to the iOS app. I imagine I won’t get to it for another month. Probably right after our new website for waltonsinc.com goes live.

Sharp knives I’m i like to be in on that

@Jonathon it was like I just got turned off. No notifications, emails, nada… Later in the day my email got crazy populated in very short time. Thanks for the follow up, sounds like there maybe some possible operator error going on, maybe something more serious

I’m so glad I’m not scheduled to work for this. I enjoy these so much, but because of my crazy hours and shifts I am always watching the replay on YouTube. Just gotta hope I don’t get overtime… I’ve never said that before…

@Jonathon I know another employee that may have permanently borrowed a different grill, so you should be ok.

@denny66 Nah Papa and I go round and round all the time. He joined the wrong team, regrets it but trying to save face. LOL Join team Blue, we have cookies! lol

@Austin Just on the site. My emails stopped a few hours ago…

Hi guys, seems like over the last few weeks there has been some frustration with some people getting all emails and some not getting any of them. 1st, there was an issue with the site that has been fixed, so if your issue was that you were NOT getting emails and you wanted them we think that is now fixed!
