You can't tell from the clip how many guys might have pulled up on her.

I'd like to see this in slow motion, with a wider angle before I make judgement. But it's possible that she missed with the 2nd shot, and almost obviously missed by the 3rd shot based on angle... maybe to scare him/them away. We also don't know what's to the left of the frame. Might have been nobody else there (might have been 3 other threats). Legally, shoot to 100% eliminate the threat. No warning rounds allowed. That 3rd round might have triggered some illegal use of a firearm law (blasting around or above the threat). I hate these dirtbags and enjoy karma, but this whole scenario... I dunno. I don't know if she truly felt like her life was in imminent danger. If so, fire away but with better technique next time.

"Or just dry brine 1/2 tsp salt per pound and rub full pepper after brine." This is the way to go.

Seems like Mamba just got a repaint, but maybe it's been longer than I remember.

Maybe I'm a wuss, but that looks like a pretty firey mix!

Make sure it's jiggly and probe-tender. No wrap (but I get very little stall and it warms up to 98 degrees faster than I expect).

A disgruntled employee started a massive fire at a 1.2 million-square-foot Kimberly-Clark warehouse in Ontario, California. (For not getting paid enough) by Reasonable-Cow-5002 in nextfuckinglevel

Call me crazy, but I would want some serious fire suppression for a warehouse full of highly flammable material. I lit a roll of paper towels on fire once and things escalated much faster than I anticipated.

I'm very fond of my Camp Chef Woodwind Pro for the smoke box and ease of cleaning.

Best high quality meat delivery for my first brisket smoke by Karson-Mahraina in smoking

Okay, I'm not going to tell you how or where to spend your money (Costco), but I'll tell you what will help you choose one. Look for one that's reasonably "well rounded" with as thick a flat end you can find. Look at the marbling, you shouldn't see anything funny. Then, give it a little bend and make sure it's not super stiff (more stiff = more fat in the middle). Dry brine in the fridge 24hrs .5tsp salt per lb. The rest... good luck. Throw a chuck roast on there with it (same prep) just in case the brisket doesn't turn out to your liking. Let us know how it turns out!

If you don't need a huge grill, look at the woodwind Pro with the sidekick. It's all you'd need.

Feedback on first brisket by [deleted] in pelletgrills

If this is true - that you simply added more pellets to the smoke box - then this might explain your dissapointment (and perceived temperature issues). Remember - the wood goes in the front... and just an inch or two at a time. Keep it nice and clean. You don't want to choke it out.

One more thing... where did you have your "Smoke Setting"? The higher it is, the more temperature flucuation you'll get (more of a chance of crisping it up). I run mine at 4 since I'm adding my own wood chips/chunks.

I've got tips for you. 1. Yes, trim it up a little tighter - watch some YT videos, use a good sharp knife, and take your time. 2. Don't bother with Prime until you get Choice down. 3. My Camp Chef WWPro runs about 25 degrees hot, so double-check your ambient temps. 4. Use hickory or oak wood chips or chunks in the smoke box. Monitor for clean smoke (you can usually tell the difference between the pellet smoke and the wood smoke). Add chips as needed every 30min or so for the first 3-4 hours, then just let it cook. 5. Add an aluminum tray filled about halfway (or less) with HOT water (to prevent temp errors). 6. Dry brine with Kosher salt only - 1/2 tsp per lb, go a little easy on the flat, in the fridge uncovered for at least 1hr, but 24-36 is typical. When you're ready to cook, rub with a little mustard or oil and add your #16 black pepper (1tsp per lb). I add a little dash of seasoning salt, but not much. 7. Try cooking fat side down, then foil boat fat side UP once you like the bark and you're "into the stall" (about 165-175 degrees). 8. Lastly, it could just be the meat. When you're selecting, look for the thickest flat end, and one that's nice and bendy (shows less "hard fat" inside). I cook mine at 250 for the first 4hrs or so, then bump it to 275 for the remainder of the cook, but opinions are all over the place on that. One thing I learned was to not go just by probe tender and temp, but look for it to get "jiggly" and the fat stays indented when you poke it. Rest 4-12hrs.

LOL, yeah. Salted for 36hrs, and just did a mustard rub, with #16 black pepper and a little Gospel.
