Breaking in my new 22 WSM

[ChrisPM]

My wife picked up my new 22 WSM on Wednesday last week and I put it together that evening. Now I am finally testing it out with a pork butt I took out of the freezer Wednesday and a packer brisket I purchased yesterday. The cook has been going for about 2 hours now and seems to have settled in at 235 degrees F with the bottom vents at 20%. I don't think I could have had such a great start without all the wonderful information everybody posts here. Thanks for all the help!!

Keep on smokin, and don't forget the pics. Sounds like you got it together and hope you have a lot of hungry mouths!

I some pics of the start up this morning on flickr, but I'm not sure if anyone will be able to veiw them. 7 hours into the cook now and the temp has been pretty stable with a couple of tweeks (windy day!!). Here's the link:http://www.flickr.com/photos/barabooq/sets/

It's all done and I now have a belly full of brisket and pulled pork. Life is good!
