Hey whats up guys,
My name is Jim and I'm from Santa Barbara CA, I'm from Texas so I'm big into BBQ but California doesn't really know what BBQ is...Ha, I love cooking Tri-tip, I smoke tri tips/chicken/ribs all the time using California Oak. Right now I'm just using a Char Griller Smoker w/ firebox, I'm having a Santa Maria style pit built for me as well. I'm big into making my own BBQ Sauces as well, that's a new thing for me but it's definitely fun.
I'll be looking for tips on doing a brisket, I haven't ever done one by myself :redface: Just wondering some basic stuff, like if you guys mop briskets, do you smoke them for the full 10-12 hours or smoke for a few then finish in the oven? I'd prefer to smoke it the full time but I don't want it to dry out.
Here's my set up at work smoking some tri tips.
