I am looking at purchasing the SMO45 to hold brisket similar to Goldees. Any experience you can share with me?

The 045 will do briskets just fine and drop to 140 degrees for holding after reaching the desired temp . My 066 goes to 140 flawlessly when the meat internal temp is reached. You can also just set the temp to 140 if you are smoking on the goldees back yard offset and just want to keep the meat warm.
Thanks Oldsarge
The SMO45 is a solid choice for holding brisket, especially if you're going for that Goldee’s-level quality. It’s great at keeping a steady temp and holding moisture, which is exactly what you need to keep brisket juicy without overcooking. If you’re using it to hold for hours, throw in a water pan to keep the environment nice and humid it makes a big difference.
