Just bought this electric smoker this past Monday. Ribs and Chicken were great! The Brisket had great flavor but was a tad bit dry and wasn't as tender as I would have liked. Oh well, notes were taken and hopefully they will get better from here in out. Enjoy the Pics. (Forgot to take pics of the ribs)

Hello and welcome from East Texas. This is a great site, lots of information and great people that are willing to throw in their two cents worth on about anything   ...........  Man the color on that stuff looks great, On the brisket what temp did you cook ? Did you wrap it? and how long did you cook it?

I did them on different days. The brisket went for 9 hours at 200 then I wrapped it and pushed it to 250 for 5 more hours. Then I took it off and wrapped it with some towel and let it rest for about 45 minutes.I need to try a different way next time. I wanted it to be more tender and juicy than it was. The chicken was at 225 for 3.5-4hrs. I took it off after the temp in the breast and leg joint were at 170. I soaked it over night in water, salt and some brown sugar. It was great! The ribs I got lazy on and bought the ones already seasoned. The meat was just how I like it but I didnt like the seasoning at all. Next time I wont be so lazy. Thanks for the kind words and any tip are greatly appreciated.
 
The last briskets I cooked was last Thursday  2 briskets about 12# each  cooked @ 225 for about 12 hours. Started Briskets un-wrapped cooked for 6 hours, pulled and wrapped in butcher paper, returned to the smoker for about 6 more hours. Pulled wrapped in a couple old towels and let rest for about an hour. Good bark and smoke ring, moist, tender and juicy.
