Nailing a brisket... is EXACTLY the same cook as a pork butt. Prepping a brisket is the only difference and Meathead has nailed that. Read Meathead's article about smoking a brisket. Follow the instructions diligently and you will nail it.👍

Hi - this is Jonathan from Queens, New York. I've been a member of the Pit for a few years now, but I am just getting up the guts to say hello.

Hands down, Amazing Ribs is my favorite web site. It got me started cooking with fire and is my go-to reference for all things smoking and grilling. I appreciate Meathead's clear technical writing, thorough research, and dedication to simplicity.

I started cooking on a Weber Smoky Mountain Boy and have slowly added more smokers to the point where it might be a problem. I have a hand-me-down Big Green Egg, Klose Grill Chef, Pit Barrel, 22" Weber, and a homemade cinder block pit (my favorite). I do most of my cooking at a camp 60 miles north of New York City (near Cornwall, NY).

We usually cook for a large group of people, and I've come to realize the BBQ isn't really about the food - its about the people and community. BBQ has a special ability to bring all sorts of folks together, and its what I like best about smoking meat.

I look forward to exchanging ideas and learning from everyone here... still trying to figure out how to nail a brisket!!!

That's right. BBQ will unite us!
