OT What are you cooking/ smoking today?
I had some Mr. Nice before going to bed this morning. :)
As far as grub, had some saltfish this morning & oatmeal tonight.
I'm doing my first brisket today too. Cheers, and good luck!
How long should it actually smoke then?
I smoke brisket at 225 degrees; typically takes an hour per pound (e.g., 7 pound brisket smokes in 7 hours). I wrap the brisket in butcher paper when it reaches an internal temp of 170 degrees (aluminum foil works, too). I typically cook brisket to an internal temp of 195 degrees. I wrap the brisket in a towel and place it in a cooler for 30 minutes to 2 hours before serving (depending on when we're going to eat dinner).
"taking the advice of my buddy who smokes all kinds of stuff"
is your buddy Tommy Chong? :s
going simple with baby back ribs. I can't stand to be outside (I live in Tampa and the real feel is like 115) so oven, then finishing off on grill.
Too bad the holiday is on a Tuesday (so close to a 3 day weekend!), but Happy 4th and God Bless America!
kudos to them! glad you get the 4 day weekend PTO-free! I would have loved to give my guys that too, but I work for a Fortune 50 so they are pretty strict with that stuff.

While we'll be doing burgers and hot dogs today, I got started on the smoking and drinking last night. No, I did not light that cigar with the Bic.....matches or GTFO.
