Just got a new portable grill, the Cuisinart Gratelifter CCG-100. I like it because it has levers on the side that automatically lift up the food so you can move the coals around underneath. I also like the lid thermometer, and the ash catcher below.
I decided to try smoking a brisket in it to see how it works for that. It's a medium sized flat (about 5-6 lbs), and it's kinda thin, so hopefully it will cook fast. Supper is in 6 hours, so I may wrap it and stick it in the oven after about 3. Dome temp is 250 degrees. I'm using hickory chips for smoke.
Rub has (listed by quantity): paprika, brown sugar, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, instant coffee powder, black pepper, cumin, oregano, and finally, cocoa powder. Might sound a bit weird, but it's pretty incredible.
I will add pics throughout the day:
