![]() Pioneering ice fishermen like Dave Genz––a Minnesota angler who has developed many strategies now commonly in use, such as being mobile on the ice instead of fishing one spot all day––have refined several new approaches. Sitting in a shanty or watching the same tip-ups all day, waiting for the action to start, leads to a long winter with few fish. Unfortunately, the approach used by many ice fishermen often does little to solve that puzzle. My best briskets (and pork butts too) have been when they were allowed to rest in a cooler for at least 3-4 hours.When winter’s ice seals waters, the puzzle of finding fish does not change. #3 is not resting the meat long enough after the cook. Other people on the internets report the same thing. I'm not sure why but I have always had better luck when cooking a whole brisket. #2 is cooking only a point or a flat and not the entire brisket at once. The digital thermometer wakes me up if there is any issue with temperature so I sleep like a baby and wake up to delicious BBQ. I like to cook overnight so I don't even know it is in a stall. #1 is they get impatient during the stall and turn up the heat. I have been guilty of these things myself. ![]() I find that there are 3 things people do to their briskets when cooking that will make them less than perfect. Not always easy to accomplish but worth the effort. For me it has to be so tender that a temp probe slides in just like it would in a stick of butter. Pulled pork doesn't even compare to a good brisket sandwich IMO. ![]() It's hard to beat when you get it tender and juicy. I believe that a brisket done right is one of the best meals there is. I think that these rising prices negate the benefit of some of these cuts but they are still delicious when cooked right. Today, due to the popularity of BBQing all over the country, these cuts that were once dirt cheap now sometimes surpass the prices of more historically desirable cuts. These cuts were more accessible to poor families (especially pork in the south) and it was quickly discovered that this method of cooking turned these tough pieces of meat into delicious meals. I won't disagree that brisket is overrated when comparing it to the cost today.Īll of the most popular BBQ cuts like pork shoulder, spare ribs and even beef brisket were BBQed at one time because they were cheap cuts that needed to be cooked low and slow in order to make edible because they are tough with lots of connective tissue. At the end of the day, buy which ever unit you can afford and enjoy either one. Just my opinion, but the Lindell is simply a much better design and a lot more functional. One unit is more expensive than the other, but it's also more detailed, a lot more functional and involves a lot more craftmanship. The mount and swing arm on the Lindell can also be used as a rod holder if you want to use a rod/reel combo to do some deadsticking if desired. I guess you can back it with a 2 x4 like I did to center it more, but after using the swing arm on the Lindell it's kind of a no-brainer. With the Finicky's Motorvator the unit needs to be mounted flush to the wall on the side of the fish house to secure it, and the line doesn't center down the hole. I also like the fact that with the Lindell, my line is directly centered over the hole straight up and down. It seemed at times like the hooks weren't getting set fast enough with the Motorvator to get a good set and my hooks were sharp. ![]() It also appears that my hook sets with the Lindell have been at a higher ratio because I don't seem to loose as many fish. I had 2 Motorvators for years and they worked, but battery drain was a problem, at least for me. I prefer to power a Lindell from my Vexilar battery or a spare vex battery versus D batteries because if I don't have extra D batteries when they are dead, I can't use the Motorvator by Finicky's. ![]() The Lindell auto jigger has a 1 to 60 dial which allows you to set the jigging mechanism from a subtle presentation to a more aggressive presentation, and the only thing killing live bait on a Lindell is the walleyes. Look at the design and craftsmanship of both units, and then buy which ever one you feel the most comfortable with after comparing the two units. ![]()
