It’s 20 of us. I don’t think the bone in is not enough so I am throwing a beef tenderloin in the smoker with the ribs as insurance.I’d do a few small beef tenderloins (2 lb’ers) before doing a big ass prime rib.
We went meat shopping for Xmas eve dinner. The family all voted and decided to do bone in prime roast. At Costco they $15-$18/lb!!?? $200 for a nice sized one. We buying from the jewels. Need to buy $25 in grocery…pft!
Trying to decide if I should smoke or just cook it in oven. I am smoking baby back ribs too so the smoker will be smoking.

Today was the nail in the coffin for me with brisket. I am 100% absolutely done trying to make one. Absolutely fuck all of that.
I used the meater and it tells me my smoker is actually 20°-65° off at any time. So that explains years of shitty smoking.
I had Temps OK for the brisket then all of a sudden I reprobed both and they were 15-20 lower again. Completely frustrated, turned out like shit, again.
Done.
Brisket isnt easy at least on non pellet smokers imo. As mentioned mine are always hit or miss, although I think the last couple have been better.Today was the nail in the coffin for me with brisket. I am 100% absolutely done trying to make one. Absolutely fuck all of that.

my house it's always fucking windy as fuck at and especially yesterday it was windy as absolute fuck and it kept my weber summit kettle at 225 all fucking day long. bumped it to 250 later in the day and went right to temp. i tossed some half off beef ribs from jewel on yesterday just as a trial run and they turned out fucking delicious. even opening the lid, it'd get right back to temp perfectly fine.
bottom vent totally closed, upper vent barely open.
instructions said to light half a chimney of charcoal, and then put it on top of a bunch of unlit. i did just that with jealous devil chunks and it went fucking awesome.
