Find Your Smoker’s Hot Spots With a Can of Biscuits

New smoker, first brisket, and no idea where the hot spots are? Auston, our Beef Guy at Booth Creek Wagyu, shows you a simple trick that takes the guesswork out of it: the biscuit test. We just got our new Yoder YS640s. Before we put a single brisket on them, we wanted to know exactly how heat moves across the cooking grate. Lay a tray of canned biscuits across the grate, let them bake, and the browning pattern shows you where your pit runs hot and where it runs cool. It’s cheap, it’s fast, and it tells you more than any thermometer reading. In this video: How to set up the biscuit test on a pellet smoker How to read the results What the hot and cool zones mean for placing your brisket Why it’s worth doing on every new smoker When you’re paying for premium American Wagyu, you don’t want to learn your smoker’s quirks the hard way. Knowing your hot spots lets you position the point and flat where they’ll cook evenly. Stick around for our first brisket cook on the new Yoders, coming soon. 🥩 Shop Booth Creek Wagyu: https://boothcreekwagyu.com/ 📍 Visit us in Kansas and Southlake, TX #BBQ #Brisket #Smoker #YoderSmokers #BBQHacks #Wagyu #BoothCreekWagyu #PelletGrill
