Superior Smokers SS-1 Maiden Voyage Brisket Pron

que_dawg · 01-05-2013, 07:40 PM

I had to season an SS-1 for the 2013 Smoker Throwdown, so I figured I would throw a brisket flat on there. No injection, just a good smattering of Plow Boys Bovine Bold. The cook went very smooth. I ran it along at 250* for about 3 hours and then I bumped it up to 300 after I wrapped it. I didn't really have to bump the temp up, I just wanted to play with my CyberQ WiFi and bump it up from my couch, because I could.

I think the brisket turned out great, it had a great smoke ring from the green peach wood that I used and had a good pull. It also turned out nice and juicy considering I didn't inject. I got pretty lucky with this Choice flat that I picked up from SAM's.

Thanks for looking.

Great looking brisket, my mouth is watering.

I see your water pan in there. Did you use water or dry?

That looks pretty dang good to me. Mind if I ask what kind of burn times you can get out of that cooker at 225-250?

Great looking cook!

I used it dry, I really only use that pan to catch the grease. I have never actually filled the water pan with water, I haven't felt like I needed it.

If I cook between 225* and 250* I have never had to refuel. One weekend soon I will fill the chute to the top and see just how long the cooker will burn on 1 chute of charcoal. That would be an interesting test. I don't know that I have seen anyone actually test the burn time on one of these.

That brisket looks like it turned out great. Nice smoke ring and nice bend.

Looks mighty fine!

Bovine Bold is a great rub choice.

That was the first time I have tried Bovine Bold, it is a great rub, I was very happy with it. It was a very good balance of peppery vs. spice for me. I will definitely use it again.

I filled my water pan with sand and wrap it with foil. It catches the juices and makes cleanup easy. The sand in the pan service as a diffuser and a heat sink keeping temps steady. B

I started my SS-One up at 6:00pm on Saturday night, loaded it up with 2 butts and 2 chuckies at 9:00, and it finally ran out of fuel and dropped temp at 8:00 on Sunday morning. And that was running at 250* on the Guru.

So I got 14 hours out of 1 chute of Royal oak (about 10lb) in 26* temps!

Thanks for the input. There's two things I want in life. A Toyota Tacoma crew cab pick-up and a gravity feed smoker. Here's to hoping that one of those come true.

I would think that you could expect to get longer burn times out of a chute of briquettes. Man, I wish I knew someone that had two SS-1s that could do a side by side test, one with regular briquettes and on with hardwood lump....
