Terms of Service
The ground rules for using this site. Last updated July 22, 2026.
By using brisketandbark.com(the “site”) you agree to these terms. If you don’t agree, please don’t use the site. Brisket & Bark is published by Type 5 Marketing LLC.
Informational purpose only — not food-safety or medical advice
All content on Brisket & Bark is for general educational and informational purposes. It is written by a brisket enthusiast, not a chef, food scientist, or licensed medical professional, and it is not professional food-safety or medical advice. For safe handling, storage, and doneness temperatures, follow the official guidance from the USDA Food Safety and Inspection Service. Smoking a brisket involves fire, high heat, hot metal, and raw meat — you cook at your own risk. See our methodology for how our guidance is produced and its limits.
Product information and prices
We work to keep specifications accurate and prices current, but products get revised, models get discontinued, and prices change constantly. Prices shown are pulled from a retailer at a stated time and may be out of date by the time you read them — always confirm the current price and product details on the retailer’s own page before buying. We make no warranty that any product will be suitable for your setup or produce a particular result.
Affiliate relationships
The site contains affiliate links and earns commissions on qualifying purchases, as described in our affiliate disclosure. Those relationships do not affect our recommendations, and purchasing through our links costs you nothing extra.

You may not republish, scrape, or reproduce substantial portions of the content without permission. Product images belong to their respective retailers or brands and are shown under the applicable retailer program terms.
Third-party links
The site links to third-party websites (retailers, cited sources). We aren’t responsible for the content, accuracy, or practices of those sites; visiting them is subject to their own terms and privacy policies.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Type 5 Marketing LLCis not liable for any loss or damage arising from your use of the site or reliance on its content — including any injury, property damage, or foodborne illness connected to a cook you chose to run or a product you chose to buy or use.
