    Where to buy wood ?

    Tony, I think you will very happy if you go the Fruita route, when i got my box of northern Cali red oak the smell was awesome, definitely fresh cut for sure! I won't buy from any other source as long as Fruita is business.

    brisket in cryloc time

    Butt another question?

    I'm cooking a 8lb bone in butt HH. 4hrs now at around 300 degrees I've usually foiled at this point and tossed in the oven to finish, can I let it ride in the wsm at those temps and not foil and have a good result? It's at 168 internal temp now just curious.

    Still learning...

    Looks good to me! the toothpick test between the bones works best for me when checking for tenderness, by the way I've done many high heat briskets on the kettle with the same setup as yours and they have all turned out great.
