My brother is coming into town for a few days and we have decided to try our hands at smoking meat.
Brisket and pork butt.
I have a large weber grill 3ft wide and 18" deep(maybe 20"). It has two removable cooking grats. I do not have a smoker and am not going to go buy one but intend to use my grill.
I have multiple questions though and i know some of you are avid meat smokers (lol, no pun intended).
Here is what i think i know:
Temp control is key, i want about 200 degrees
Meat as far from heat source as possible
Do not rush, take about 1.5 hours per lb
What i dont know:
Do i need to use Lump charcoal or will briquetts work?
Are the tiny wood chips fine or should i use the larger wood chunks?
Do i need to soak the wook in water or some other liquid (cider vinegar has been suggested)
From the time i put the meat on do i have smoke rolling?
can the pork and brisket go on the grill at the same time?
Do i marinate?
If i marinate do i Rub as well? and continually Baste?
Im sure i will have more as the answers come in.
Thanks in advance.
