He makes good videos but he's incredibly arrogant and100% biased to Kamado Joe and wants everything to taste like it comes off an offset.

I use my fat trimmings from my briskets to make tallow. No need to buy if you can make your own! I just put it in a pan while the brisket cooks. I usually yield about a cup or so, which is just enough to rehydrate the bark before wrapping.

Definitely no water in your water pan. How high is heat for you? I don't agree you have to low n slow for prime. I've seen Harry Soo's videos cooking prime at 400F on a 22 WSM with no water pan! I've put a little bit of foil around the edges of the cooking grate where there's a hot...
