Well I took everyone's advice and did pork butt on new 009-2 smoker. Went light on the smoke and used meat thermometer it turn out really good. My next smoked meat was brisket. I used a Brisket flat and used about 2.5 oz of hickory and used meat thermometer to cook to about 195*. Great smoke flavor but not over-powering, juicy and moist with great flavor. For first time using CS, I was happy with end product. I know I can do better. Brisket made great sandwiches and next day Brisket Taco's. Even vaccum sealed some for the next chili day. My questionnon brisketbis,' has anyone injected brisket before cooking?' On smoker(Treager) I have done it several times, with mixed results. Looking orward to next "Q" day!
