MY FIRST COOK!!!

Fired up the SMC at about 8am. Used a 1/3 chimney of charcoal to get it going.Buy 9am it was stable and chuggin along at 240f. Put the brisket on and its cruising at about 240 now.

Man, its hard not to look!

I'll let you all know how things go as the day progresses...

Far out Big Tim. What size brisket? Looks like you may have a little experience with these?

Things are going great. I can't believe how easy it is holding the temp on this smoker...

I ordered a whole brisket and my butcher screwed up and got me flat. It weighed about 7.5 lbs after trimming...

I will post up some pics of the finished product...
