I am definitely converted to fat cap down, will be doing it that way from now on. We just annihilated that brisket for dinner here at the firehouse, unfortunately it didn't stick around long enough for pictures  . All that's left is a little bit of the point that will end up in our breakfast in the morning. My wife loved the little flat we had for dinner last night too, said it had a lot more flavor than normal. The bark is much better since the rub is not wasted on the fat cap and everything was tender and juicy as you'd ever want. Definitely glad I decided to try it out.

I was heating those splits because they are still a little green, we split that oak earlier this year, I feel like it helps get a little moisture out. It seems to help the splits ignite a little faster and gets me back to having clean smoke sooner.

Exactly....I preheat my splits on the firebox as well ......ignites quicker and gets the clean thin blue smoke we all look for in a stick burner.

| Thanks for the explanation on the salsa. I will definitely do that the next time I have a cook. I heated my splits on the fire box and I definitely think it helped. |

No problem, you will like the salsa, it always comes out great. Glad you had good results from the firebox trick too, it really helps me out, especially if the wood isn't quite as seasoned as I'd like.

I got a cook coming up in a couple of days and I think I'm going to try making your salsa. Can you ballpark me the number of Romas vs Serranos, for a batch? Something medium hot... I don't want to scare my crowd.

We like it hotter than most and will typically use about 2 Serranos for one average size Roma tomato. It comes out on the top end of my tolerance usually, my wife would fill my entire smoker with serranos if I'd let her You could dial it back as much as a straight ratio 1 tomato -1 Serrano and the flavor would still be great.
If we notice a batch has come out too hot and we have sensitive guests over, we will add a ripe avocado in the blender with it and it will cut the heat down a little.
Let me know how it works out for you
Just keep in mind, my wife is Mexican and our tolerance for spicy food is usually a little more towards the extreme side.

I whipped up a batch of that salsa today. I decided to start slow with the Serrano peppers and ended up using one pepper per two tomatoes and that seemed to work good for me and my crowd. It has some heat but won't take the top of your head off. I added the juice of 1 lime and 1/2 teaspoon of cumin and man.. that stuff is goooood!!!! I'm letting it rest in the fridge and will bring it out in a couple of hours. Thanks for turning me/us on to your recipe.

Thank you sir, it was probably the best one I've made to date. Thanks for your input on the cap down question I posted in another thread, that's how I'll be doing it from now on.
