Hack No. 1: for my old as… butt - Take a nap. (I wasn’t able to do this with my last brisket/pork butt and I was so miserable…) So for my long cooks, I’m using a small cheap offset stick burner, I preheat the smoker at least an hour before I want to put the meat in. I want to get the fire stabilized. During that time, I’m finishing trimming the brisket and getting it seasoned. I always use a water pan. It doesn’t matter if I’m making summer sausage or brisket, using my offset or my Masterbuilt if it’s a long cook, I have a water pan in there. Hack No. 2: I usually have a Bluetooth headset on (one that transmits through the bone so I can still hear the fire and my surroundings (and head off the fire department who may have been called for “Smoke in the area” - embarassing.) Hack No. 3: Once I wrap, assuming I am wrapping, it goes into the Masterbuilt to finish. It’s not gonna get anymore smoke at that point so why waste wood and why not reprise Hack No. 1 and take a nap?
