Brisket -- What do you think about this?

My smokette don't have a 212* setting. How do you know when you have it set there? I would leave it on 200 and then if you get in a hurry or hit a long plateau crank it up full blast.

Hippie,right in the middle--between 200and 225--would be pretty close to 212.

LMAO

That's funny......

Yea! I don't care who ya are!

Hippie you are a funny guy . Love your humor.

You just need to make sure that Smokette and stand are on a level surface and you have all the adjustments correct on it, Kathy! Don't forget the magnets!

BTW, you aren't blonde are ya?

Hippie,Definitely not Blonde. And definitely not born nor raised in a confederate state either. So I am not a redneck nor a hick.I am a Yankee which you may use against me in the future..... But I do have cousins from Appalachia so I enjoy your sense of hick humor...are you a blonde???
I don't think there are any adjustments that would affect the bottom of the door scraping.But when I go out to smoke my pork butt I will look at it.
I STILL like the idea of a Cookshack magnet.Maybe if they had them, I would have won one during the Anniversary week.

Light brown here, and definitely a hick. Ozark and Boston Mountain variety.

How would you describe the primary difference between a redneck and a hick? I think of a hick as someone "from the sticks" that is not cultured, that has not traveled, is not well read, has not been exposed to finer things, is uneducated and pretty ignorant. They may have a capable mind, but it has not been developed.

I think of a red-neck as someone that is not cultured, probably has a beer belly, drives a pick-up, may have a gun over the rear window, has extreme conservative ideals and is very opinionated.

gc/tx - many hicks have pick-ups also. They have to cut their grass to find them, however.

Oh well, reckon I ain't a hick nor a redneck by them standards.

I would rather be a hick than a redneck though.

By state-of-mind, I am a hippie, no doubt.

LOL.The times I have been to Eureka Springs, especially in the winter when there aren't as many tourists, I see lots of people who are still hippies. Must be something in the water in Arkansas that encourages that.

Yea, alot of us are lost in the 70's. Gotta hang on to what you believe in. Peace, Love, etc.

maybe that is why Bill Clinton is such a Love Bunny. Hey, now I do think he is a super smart guy and very charming. I just think his poor wife should be applauded

I agree with you about Hillary, Kathy! Whoops, my mistake, you said "applauded", not tarred, feathered, and sent to the most distant country that will take her. I take it back.

I am expecting Smokin to step in pretty soon. Wasn't Hilary born a Yankee??? Even before she moved to NY, I mean.Hey, what about peace and love,brother?

All in fun, Kathy...

Oh, I know that !! Me and Hippie have an understanding.

I have been reading about hicks and red necks, But what about us hillbillys?

All I can say is, "Howdy Neighbor!"

I took some of my pork butt down to my hillbilly neighbor..born and bred in TN..She said it was better even than the last one I took her.LOL.. best she had ever eaten..Now that is what keeps me giving her some whenever I smoke some meat. The temperature never did get as high as I liked but I think it wasn't placed properly because I pulled at 179 and the sections fell apart.I poured the rest of the vinegar mop over it, and the meat sucked it all up. I didnt make mustard sauce after all but used one of my favorites--Head Country.NOw hwere is the Problem...My husband wants to keep eating it;he ate more after he had dessert.So he wants me to leave it out on the counter. What should I do?????LOL

Put it in the fridge when he passes out from the full belly exhaustion. Remember to set it back out for breakfast, lunch, and supper.

haha!! See, He isn't afraid of eating food that has been sitting outside the refrigerator!!
hippie, I think we are the only people not out partying on a friday night@@

lets not jump to any conclusions Kathy...

Hi fishguy-40...How are you doin'?
Is the surf up there?

So, KathyE - guess all TN folks are Hillbillys? That's not very nice. I might even say a word about Okies, but, Smokin seemed pretty nice when I met him. I'll keep my mouth closed.

C'Nooga,My Neighbor says she is a hillbilly. And I don't care what you say about Okies because I am a Yankee not an Okie LOL. so talk away about Okies...

Didn't say all people from there were hillbillies. My relatives come from Appalachia and are close to a combination of redneck,hillbilly,hick.

Being from Appalachia, I prefer hillbilly to redneck or hick

Can't say as I blame ya Freebird.

I didn't mean to offend anyone. As it has been said before, hopefully people on here are forgiving of each others' use of terms when no slur was intended.
I love my relaitves...LOL

But do you marry them? I think that's the real litmus test...no?


HA! j/k Kathy. I don't think MOST were offended.

Lol Thanks,
No comment on the marriage test...Might get myself in trouble again.

KathyE,

No problem, just wanted to ruffle your feathers. I'm a Yankee also. lmao.

A person is a hillbilly if they are born and bred in them-thar hills. And many hillbillys are hicks, but fortunately they can and do change. Dolly was a hillbilly, and she probably was a hick. She may still be a hillbilly, I don't know, but she ain't no hick, not anymore. Don't you just love Dolly!

Love Paula Deen more but Dolly is really talented. But Paula can COOK esp if it has to do with Butter.

Okay, let's not get into ANY name calling, someone always takes exception.

I've received an email about this (taking offense) so it has to stop today. While it might be funny for some, it might not be for some, thus we STICK TO BBQ.

Except for one or two response, the post had nothing to do with the original question.

Don't forget, It's a BBQ forum, so let's stick to BBQ. When we get off topic, it always goes too far.
