    Foul weather smoke

    First smoke on the WSM

    I have been smoking with my OTG for some time and now it is time for me to break in my 10th anniversary gift. Going BoB for the first run. Got the meat on at midnight, the brisket is rocking it's crutch and the butts are 170 and slowly rising. Will post photos of the finished product.
