Thanks Edison. I got a lot of tips and advice from the seasoned vets in this forum. If you're new here or new to smoking read Chris's articles. There is a wealth of great info there. Read up, ask questions, and don't be afraid to try something. Also don't forget to post pics. Thanks for your compliment.Great cook...never would have guessed this was your first brisket!!! Inspires me to actually try cooking one myself!!!
