Hello everyone!

My name is Conner, I have always had a passion for cooking. I have been to BBQ competitions to watch family members compete and occasionally win. I have always been fascinated with making some delicious BBQ with a smoker. I hail from Marshall, MO. I'm a full time college student and work as an RA(Resident Assistant) for my college. I have been married for a little over a year. So occasionally I have time to have a little fun on the smoker. Recently I came into my first smoker gifted to me by a friend. It is a Royall 1000 Pellet smoker, the igniter is broken but I don't mind lighting it by hand. I have had some success with pork butts, and currently have my first brisket on there. To be honest, I'm a bit nervous lol. Anyway it seems from browsing your forum I am in good company and a very knowledgeable bunch. Can't soak up some tips from you guys and of course some smoke!

Welcome from Canada, Conner.

You will find lots of great people, information and advice on this forum. I started smoking last year and have really enjoyed it. However, I do warn it may become addictive.

Well my brisket finished at about 8:00am this morning. I wrapped it in a towel once it hit 190* and sliced it around 8:45-9:00ish. It was delicious. The only problem is I had to be at work at 10:00 so I got 1 slice off of the flat before I had to jet out the door lol. When I get back to my dorm I'll post some pictures of it and hopefully you guys can throw some tips my way!

to SMF!  We are so glad you joined us! 

We love to see pictures of what you are cooking (or what we call q-views here at SMF).  To "upload the q-views" just follow the directions here and it will be easier. If you are using a cell phone, an IPad or a kindle, go to the main SMF page and click the Mobile button. Will make the uploads a bit faster too.

If you didn't read the "Terms of Service" notes.....please do.  There are a few things that everyone should know about those pesky little rules before plunging into the forums and some guidelines of how to interact within the forums. Off site links are not allowed here at SMF per Jeff. Not that you have done anything wrong....just a little bit of FYI for new members!

If you need any help roaming around the forums....just holler!  Happy to help out!

This is right after I unwrapped it and laid it out to be sliced


I tried to get a good picture of the smoke ring but I had to hurry, too many vultures(students) around lol

Overall it was a very tender brisket and very flavorful. Once I unwrapped it though it didn't quite have the bark I wanted it to. Any pointers on how to give it a thick flavorful bark next time I do a brisket?
