Thanks to all on Forum. 1st brisket

Nice mouth-watering Q-porn!

Welcome!

Way to go Charles. Looks great! Don't worry about the ST. Several of us use them; take some fun-loving flack sometimes but people here will assist you in turning out good Q despite what cooker you use.

Come back often!

Thanks for the welcome GLH and Wheelz!

Been working with computers for 27 years. Spend alot of time on the internet, but this is my first time posting (anywhere). Bought my smoker after tasting some pretty good brisket in Nashville a month ago. I was hooked. Wife was very happy with this attempt. Not alot of smoke flavor. For some reason my 6 oz hickory and two natural pieces of charcoal burn't up in less than 2 hours. Saw a big puff of smoke shoot out around door and top vent. Temp 225F. Used same wood day before on baby backs and was still smoking after 4 hours.

Oh well, can't beat the taste.

Great. So I just PM you with my address for the fall race tickets, or they will be at will-call?

Charles, welcome and congrats on your 1st brisket!!!

Sounds like everything worked perfectly....My last 12 lb brisket took 22 hours....my Smokin Tex works like a charm.

Next try and corned beef brisket, smok it the same and you'll end up with pastrami!!!

Do a search, you'll need to soak that corned beef brisket and change the water (while it's in the fridge) about 3-5 times over a 24 hours period.....

good luck

GLH,

I live about 5 miles from the track. Us locals usually try to avoid the area on race weekend. If ya want to come by, we can sit on the back deck and smoke something. If the wind is right we can hear the cars at the track. I usually watch the race on tv. I'll buy the beer!

BaltimoreBayside,

Yeah, I thought I would starve to death smelling that brisket. It shure was good. Ate so much by bedtime was sick of it. Wanted more before breakfast.

Smoked a partially cooked shank portion ham to 170F last night.

Been grilling for a long time, but smokin is addicting!!
