Yes I do have planned to try the high heat method, and also want to try low without water in the water pan and adding spritzing, all my previous cooks in the WSM had been done with minion and water, except one time for chicken wings, the snake was something that came to my mind, but I don't think I'm going to do it again in the WSM, at least not with a brisket, as you said every time you try a different method feels like a first cook and of course we learn something new, and I am totally very glad that all of you share your opinions and thoughts with me, that's what I'm looking for, and it's the reason I join this forum.
