🔥 What's cooking on your SmokeFire/Searwood? 🥩

Throwing down some chicken beans and poppers! I’ll put more pics up in a bit

I know this is old, but I'm new here and just saw this. I did my first full-packer this week and did it on the bottom shelf with no pan. Even though it cooked at 225 (17+ hours, no wrap), I burned the bottom. I like this idea of a pan and on the top shelf. Have you ever checked if there's a difference in temperature between the top and bottom shelves?

My upper grill, where I have a separate grill temp probe connected, tends to run very close to the permanent probe (<10F either way). The exception is when one opens the top for more than a minute or so, but then it recovers over the next 5-10 minutes (less peaking the better).

I always do my full packer briskets (doing @ 15# Prime tomorrow) with the fat side down on the upper grate, with a water pan (typically a half-size steamer tray pan) down below the lower grate and directly on the the flavorizer bars. If only doing a flat, I will do fat side up on upper grate.
My routine typically takes 1.5 hrs per lb. with first 2 hours on smoke boost and the 200F until stall when I wrap in butcher paper and increase grill to 225F until done.

F### it, I decided I was having pulled beef today too. I jumped out of bed and grabbed this prime tri-tip, rubbed it with some Worcestershire and seasoned with Oakridge SPOGOS, she’s on at 200.

You tri tippers can go tri tip all over town . Damn i wish i could get tri trip in Wisconsin without having to pay a crazy price

Found me a prime brisket, did salt and pepper. Got some Weber mesquite pellets I'm trying out too. Hard Eight is a restaurant around here that has some of the best brisket I've ever had, and I believe they use mesquite, so that's what I'm going for.

Smokeboost was rather potent today as well.

Hard 8 is pretty good. We try to get that every time we stop for gas at AFW airport. They never disappoint.

Sounds like a classic Texas Brisket!

I too use either Weber Mesquite, or a 50/50 mix of their mesquite+ hickory pellets. We love the flavor combination, and stick to salt and pepper with some garlic powder.

Normally I don't open the lid the entire cook, but I couldn't resist. Here's how it's doing 7 hours in-

The SS grates that are for the spirit grill originally, but are listed on the Weber site as an accessory. I have the 4 and they are a perfect fit. If you have a 6 you will have to bias to the hot side and use one of the OEM gates to fill in the left side third of the cooking surface. Integrates with all the GBS accessories. Thanks
