Howdy from Baltimore!

Just got my first WSM on Friday, seasoned it Friday night and Saturday, and am trying to smoke my first brisket. Looking forward to learning the fine arts of smoking on a WSM from you all.

Welcome, Chris! Good to have another Balti-moron on board! Technically, I guess I am not a Balti-moron anymore, since I moved out to the Exurbs years ago.

Thanks for the warm welcome, everyone! My first smoke went pretty well; I managed not to ruin the brisket. It had great flavor and a decent smoke ring, but was just a little chewy. I don't think I got the internal temp high enough for long enough to break down all the collagens. Still, it was pretty good, so for my first time, I'm calling that a success, and given some of the things I've learned, my next one will be better!
