So, youâve shelled out the $50 for a brisket from B&W Meat Company or some other local spot where people line up to get to that butcher counter, and youâre ready to take the plunge. Here now, Russell Roegels, of Roegels Barbecue Co., walks us through a smoking timeline for beginners. Think of this as a general guide for smoking brisket in your backyard and not as absolute gospelâno two briskets are alike. Also, weâre assuming youâre smoking about 12 pounds of brisket and using an offset smoker that requires wood for fuel, and youâre prepared for the dozen or so hours itâs going to take to smoke slow and low. Otherwise, carry on.

CALIFORNIA The California Department of Fish and Wildlife and local wildlife rehabilitation centers are asking residents to put away their bird feeders and birdbaths until the springtime to help stop the spread of a deadly illness affecting small songbirds.
State wildlife officials and local wildlife rescue organizations have been inundated with calls from residents who are finding sick or dead finches in their backyards.
The bulk of reports since December have come from the Central California Coast, the San Francisco Bay Area and the Sierra Nevada communities.
