As another post or 2 have stated I decided to spend my labor day learning a new skill. I went ahead and did the BRITU ribs recipe and I fell in love at first bite (pardon my crappy jokes) took a tad longer than I anticipated but I suspect it was because my ribs were a little over 2lbs each and my temps never spiked I stayed at @225-235 for the full 4 hours and I opened the vents a little more at the end to try and speed it up at 4.5-5hrs. Wife and I were getting hungry 😁. Any how thank you all for the great knowledge and tips on this forum. Can't wait to get more involved.
 
Congrats on getting that first one under your belt Kyle. :)
The addiction only gets worse, but the bbq only gets better.
 
Congrats Kyle. As Bob said the addiction will only grow. The great thing about Q is that when it's not fantastic it's still good eating. Keep enjoying it.
 
Thank you Mike and Lee. Scored $70.00 brisket this weekend at Krogers I forget the size (20LBish), I'll have check but I got it on sale for around $45. Last one too, I was pumped. Brisket is my favorite and I cannot wait to smoke it.
 
I like brisket too. While I have a 22.5 I've never cooked a packer whole. I always separate the flat from the point (basically cutting it in half like 2 squares of a domino) because they cook at different temps.

Good luck!
