Hey everyone,
Great board and first post!
I smoked a 10lb brisket on my WSM last weekend (this was my first smoke ever!) and it came out fantastic. I used the MM and starting cooking the brisket at 5:30am and it finished nicely (internal temp 180) at approximately 6:00pm. I marianted, used a good mustard coat and then a spicy and sugarless Texas rub. My question is; I never had to refill the water pan. When I checked at the half way point to turn over the brisket and mop, the water was still pretty full (with the addition of the melted fat) and each time after the pan never really seemed to lose a lot of water. Is that "normal" or could I have possibly done something wrong?
Thanks for the help,
Matt
