I'm shooting for 205-215 WSM dome temp but I just came out after sleeping a bit and temp had climbed to 240. Water was just about gone so I added some and temp is coming back down nicely. Love this thing.
Mike, this is my first brisket from Walmart so I can't comment on quality-hoping someone else will chime in on that. I read on hear that people often get their briskest from Sam's Club....wouldn't they be the same? My local Kroger didn't have any and I don't have an in-town meat market so Walmart had to do.

I agree Bill. It will be pretty hard to get the meat done at those temps.Dan that's kinda low imo. I shoot for 250.
You would think I would have at least one working flashlight in the house, and the outside light is burnt out. Had to use a candle to see what I was doing...lol.
+1 on the picture walking around with a candle. Might of been kind of "Spooky" if the Fog was drifting in just rightI agree Bill. It will be pretty hard to get the meat done at those temps.
Wish we had a pic of you with your candle checking the smoker.
I plan on cooking some spares and butt chunks tomorrow.
..... Are you doing burnt ends?

Just got my WSM, and breaking it in tonight w/ an 8lb pork butt. Can't wait for the pulled pork tomorrow afternoon. Smoking over Kingsford charcoal, oak nuggets, and hickory nuggets. Temp is currently at 225*F.
