My SM150 delivered yesterday morning

Wow! That's quite an arsenal. A smokette, an AQ and a SM150!!

Hi CT-Q,

I decided to use the SM150.
First cook with it hope everything comes out like I have done with my other CS units.

Start time 6:00 pm
Temp 225
Probe temp 190
3 oz hickory
2 oz apple
1 oz cherry

4 briskets 11 lb, 11.5 lb, 13lb and 13.5 lb
Rubbed with Cookshack Brisket rub
2 pork butts 9 lb each.
Yellow mustard with Cookshack Spicy Chicken rub and rib rub.
Butts on bottom rack fat side down.

I will try to take some photos tomorrow.

Thank you,
Brian E.

Brian, why are the butts fat side down under the briskets? Most folks will put the butts over the briskets, fat side up to baste themselves and the briskets. The briskets usually under the butts, fat side down.

Just my opinion.

No problem, let us know how it goes for you.

1st hour I could smell the wood after that all I smell is meat and it's making me hungry.
Also hear a sizzle sound of meat and juice dripping.

I will try to take some photos and post them.

Thank you,
Brian E.

Bem, you're killing me.

Now I'm hungry and I just ate dinner

Glad I am doing some baby-backs tomorrow or I'd have to hunt you down!

Hi Guys,

The briskets and pork butts were awesome.
SM150 cooks really really good
Everyone said how great the food tasted.

They went back for 2nds and 3rds and wanted more to take home.
I told them about how great Cookshack and this fourm are.
One of the guys I work with his uncle is on this fourm, and has a Smokette

Had to use my smokette for some chicken since one of my co-workers doesn't eat meat.
After the smell of the brisket he almost broke down and was tempted to try some brisket.

Im sorry was not able to take any photos I bearly made it in time to work with the food.
I took a vacation day to do this but they paid me to cook all of the food

Good luck on your baby backs tommorow.

Thank you,
Brian E.
