Hello SMF.

Newbie from Idaho here. My name is Jim. Been doing a ton of reading and decided to join. Great stuff here. I just got my first smoker for Christmas from the wife. Nothing special just a MES from Cabalas. Money is tight these days.

Going to do my first smoke this afternoon on a Tri-Tip so we will see. The family wants me to attempt a brisket New Years Day but i think it is to soon.

Can't wait to meet you all and hope to learn much more from you all.

Hello Jim and welcome to SMF - glad to have you here with us
Never too soon to get your feet wet - give that brisket a try and remember you get to eat your mistakes too
 
Scarbelly is right, read up on briskets ( they can take an aweful long time to reach finished temp ) then go for it. You can ask questions on here as you go along in your brisket smoke. You only learn by doing.

Even the mistakes usually taste great.

Plenty of knowlegeble folks on here that will guide you through the smoke.
 
Hello Jim and welcome to the SMF. Congrats on the new MES. Tri Tip is a really nice cut, and if you do a little more reading... go for the brisky. It's all good my friend.

Welcome to the forum. You'll do just fine with a brisket. Just study up on them here and you'll be a smokin' pro in no time.
 
Welcome in . A quick tip for your 1st brisket is to trim the brisket , Use STORE BOUGHT Adams Brisket rub LIGHTLY .... wrap it in foil tightly and bbq that baby in the oven at 325 for two hours ... have smoker going ( getting up to temp ) and smoking light blue smoke ..remove brisket from oven pour juices in a bowl . Open top top of foil about two inches and place in smoker @ 220 to 240 degrees for three hours .... remove from maoker and wrap tight and add foil to outside tightly ... cover with a towel and let it sit for 1 hour .. then serve that baby up .. your family will love it ...............if needed add the juice from the brisket on top of slices .. but you should not have to ..
 
welcome to the club, thats the great thing about smoking, money is tight, you buy a 5 dollar chicken spend the day havin fun smoking it and get a great dinner at the end of the day
