Switched from charcoal baskets to a full firebox on my offset, and my brisket stopped tasting like lighter fluid
Ran two 14 lb packers last month back to back on the same rig with only the fuel setup changed, and the basket cooks came out with a bitter edge while the firebox ones were clean and sweet. Anyone else swear the fire management style matters more than the rub or the wood?
Wait, you ran two 14 lb packers back to back and only changed the fuel setup? That's wild because I always blamed my wood or rub when I got that bitter taste.
