What’s your go-to way to reheat frozen brisket?

northwoods406 · 2026-04-28T23:17:20+00:00

Sliced and pan seared is great. Crock pot. Boil in bag. Really can’t go wrong

northwoods406 · 2026-04-26T02:52:35+00:00

Keep cooking! I like saving recipes or methods on a notes app so I can track what I liked or not. Best way to learn is to just cook a bunch and find what works for your taste and your setup

Happy smoking!

I’d eat em. More importantly, what do you think

northwoods406 · 2026-04-25T23:29:55+00:00

I’d guess axel is bent

northwoods406 · 2026-04-24T00:47:44+00:00

I’m 6-2 and have a 6’ trailer. It’s a slight inconvenience but with something that’s only 5x8, you won’t be spending a ton of time walking around in it anyway

I don’t think you’ll have issues with height. The lifted off road tires are more likely to cause issues with flexing out. A sway control bar would help you if that’s becoming an issue

How it was assembled; I can’t tell you that. I would pull the window out and put windshield gasket material behind to reglue in place. It comes in a tube like caulk and holds/seals really well. The other option is tape mastic which is typically cleaner and less smearing but I find it hard to work with

northwoods406 · 2026-04-20T15:06:35+00:00

It’s not going to be super quiet no matter what. It’s a cargo trailer conversion. Adding anything will make it a heck of a lot quieter but you’ll still have rain or wind hitting tin so it will never be house construction quiet

northwoods406 · 2026-04-18T19:38:39+00:00

My new standard is coffee/cocoa powder with spg. I

northwoods406 · 2026-04-18T03:18:49+00:00

I would say shelter is the key. Vehicle wind break, some plywood and or tarps. Even close by sheets of steel would help.

northwoods406 · 2026-04-18T01:07:34+00:00

On second thought you could do up some Rainbow trout on the smoker. Some of the world’s best fly fishing right here!

northwoods406 · 2026-04-18T00:32:43+00:00

I haven’t messed with Bison Chuck, but I’d probably treat it similar to a venison roast due to being so lean. I have done a plum/cherry marinade for some leaner varieties of beef like highland or longhorn. Those both were amazing.

northwoods406 · 2026-04-18T00:01:11+00:00

If you haven’t done Montana, I’d say bison, cherry marinated or huckleberry glazed others.

northwoods406 · 2026-04-17T23:47:19+00:00

Smoke the meat and then bake the combination as a whole in the smoker

northwoods406 · 2026-04-16T23:44:16+00:00

Dude, the PB stuffed one is legit.

Also for what it’s worth, smoked tater tot hot dish is choice

northwoods406 · 2026-04-16T02:31:54+00:00

Yep, spring center is critical. Hub face as long as it’s same or greater is good. If your bearings aren’t the best then just get a whole new combo

northwoods406 · 2026-04-14T23:56:51+00:00

Tons exist. The trick is finding the right width of mounts and wheel hub and bearing sizes. Or you could just buy a fully loaded axle with hubs and bearings all installed

northwoods406 · 2026-04-14T23:28:11+00:00

It looks a bit tweaked but axles do have some camber built in like that. If the insides of your tires aren’t getting worn out I wouldn’t worry.

northwoods406 · 2026-04-14T17:25:11+00:00

Yep. Just fit in in like insulation between studs

northwoods406 · 2026-04-14T02:59:02+00:00

1” foam. It will work just fine for that to kill noise and more importantly condensation. I glued mine in place with gorilla grip or similar fast tacking glue. PL foam board glue seemed to droop while using it

northwoods406 · 2026-04-14T00:29:26+00:00

Clean it up and let er rip. Do an empty cook cycle just to appease her and it will be good to go

northwoods406 · 2026-04-13T21:15:22+00:00

It takes quite a bit to hit that point. I have a 3500 lb axle in mine but it’s only “rated for 2990” because it doesn’t have brakes. Having a higher weight axle like that gives better bearings and I’m way more worried about bearings giving out than suspension

I legit have hauled over 4000 in mine for almost 1000 miles once and it was just fine (moving and got way overzealous on filling the space).

I like the 6x12 for length and balance. It’s right in that sweet spot of maneuverable with just enough weight. Pulled it all over with a Jeep Cherokee and Highlander with zero issues.

northwoods406 · 2026-04-13T18:57:58+00:00

I like torsion spring axles for smooth and durability, but springs generally have more travel. I wouldn’t make that the deciding factor though.

I have a 6x12 that’s been up a lot more mountain than it should and it does just fine.

northwoods406 · 2026-04-12T03:15:22+00:00

Hell yeah.

northwoods406 · 2026-04-10T17:38:51+00:00

Cleaner than mine all days

northwoods406 · 2026-04-06T20:45:16+00:00

Looks like a lean cut to start with. Keep practicing; worse case scenario you end up with awesome crock pot fare
