Thanks!! I’m a huge fan of peach wood smoke. Years ago I had cut down a peach tree in front of my house . Been using the wood ever since. It’s my fav flavor on pork. Hickory is my 2nd fav.
I’m also a fan of fruit wood. It’s not as heavy as something like mesquite. My wife doesn’t like much smoke flavor, so I tend to stick with apple and cherry, except for large cuts, like brisket. Haven’t ever tried peach. Peach trees are much more common around here than apple or cherry, so I should! Pecan is also in the lineup.

Yeah definitely give it a shot! It works for Myron Mixon :D

It’s weird Apple is probably one of the ones I dig the least compared to hickory and peach on pork. I don’t mind it on chicken. Cherry is nice and adds a nice color.

For beef I’ll use oak, hickory or pecan.
 
With eggs? Lol

Hey you see the jolly Xmas party at HS? Looks good actually. First night in November is our last night of the trip so I don’t think we r going this year.
We have a week planned next month however we are challenged with other personal stuff so we are not sure if we will go. We will keep you posted :cheers:

Anyone ever try the 4-2-10 method for brisket? Looks kinda full proof? 10 hrs at 140 degrees is a mighty long time!
Never heard of it. I don’t think there’s a definitive brisket method. It’s done when it probes easily, which is usually above 200°. Trying to use a specific timeframe just doesn’t work. I’ve had 15 lb brisket cook in under 10 hours and 10 lb brisket take 12 hours, both cooked at 250°. And I can’t imagine cooking a large cut of meat like brisket at 140°. Brisket needs to hit at least 190° to get tender. How could it get there cooking at 140°?

Got a nice Fathers Day surprise gift this year. 2021-2022 was the age of the Blackstone, looks like the rest of 2023 is going to be filled with Neapolitan Pizzas off the Ooni and a 2024 New Years Resolution to get back on keto.

I hear yah. Mine have been all over the place. The 2 hr part of the cook is at 285. I don’t know. It’s all over the internet documented. Like a lot.

I was wondering the same thing and curiosity got the best of me.
Seems interesting, would be interested in the results if you do try it.
I found a lot of talk about it on different forums just searching for like 5 mins. I’m going to try it. When I get a 2 day period with no fishing cause I’m not giving up a weekend of fishing for a brisket. Lol

Yes, interesting, but I’m still skeptical that a 16 hour cook can be prescribed for any brisket. 4 hours at 250° is roughly normal, 2 hours at 285° is only a slight increase in cooking temp and for a relatively short period of time. My guess is that after the first 6 hours, the internal temp would still be well below 200° - probably closer to 160°, which is roughly the temp that the stall hits and you’d wrap. I still can’t see how you’d ever get above that temp cooking at 140°.

But if someone has success with it, I’d love to hear about it!
