Old Smokey

[Rodmaster66]

I need some help from the Pro's, I would like to try to cook and somewhat smoke a brisket on my old smokey. I don't know if this will even work out, but any help would be appreciated.

I hope you have the large Old Smokey. Bank a small fire on one side and add charcoal and/or chunks of wood as needed. Get one of those small oven thermometers that has a base on it to really know where your at. Keep the mop soppin' and baste often. I've made some damm good ribs on the beach on one, but never a brisket. Good luck.

I made more than one brisket on a grill, by putting the small fire on one end and adding lump charcoal or wood as needed. You may need to use foil to shield some of the direct heat. It helps to put the fat side down because of the higher heat by the fire.

It can be a chore but can taste quite good.

If your grill allows you to put the fire low enough and the meat high enough, you might be able to smoke it like a bullet smoker. For hints go to Virtual Weber Bullet (http://virtualweberbullet.com/).

Or you could try the Smokenator (http://www.smokenator.com/).

Good luck.

I have never tried a brisket. We take a 55 gal drum and use it upright with a grate at the top, one in the middle for mops sauce or water to infiltrate the meat, and then a round iron charcoal pan at the bottom. Put the brisket on top and mop and eventually cover with foil . We use the Old smokey lid as it works perfectly.

It can be done but you will need to pay attention to it. Place your charcoal (a small amount) in an aluminimum pan like a cake loaf pan. You can add soaked hickory chips etc. as needed. Place the brisket on the opposite side of the Old Smokey (22" size) and watch it carfully. You will need to add charcoal and chips more often than in a real smoker but, it can and has been done.
