Nice setup. If you havent gotten to know your smoker yet Id suggest starting with a pork shoulder or some chicken. Theyre more forgiving of temp swings and are much much cheaper than brisket these days. Good luck!

Smoked myself some pork spare ribs and pork roast yesterday.  Not too bad for my first attempt at smoking, a lot of lessons to be learn but a few positives to take as well.

I'm gonna give the brisket a go tomorrow.

Smoked my First chickens on Saturday to get the temperature up.

Then I put on two Boston Butts for the Super Bowl.  These went on at Midnight, and I just took them off at 8:00 am this morning.

I am really impressed with the smoker I built.  Keeping the temperature at 250 is very consistent.  I only need the air vent open about 1/4 inch, and I feed it 2 logs every 2 hours.

I bought the Chicken at Restaurant Depot.  Awesome place and great prices.  I bought 40#'s, at $0.42/lb.

The Butts are cooling right now, tented in foil.  When I pull them apart, I'll add some more pictures.

Aaron Franklin's You Tube videos on slicing brisket are quite helpful. He points out that the grain in the flat and point sections of a brisket are running in different directions and that one must take that into account when slicing across the grains.

The brisket I purchased is around 3.3kg or 7 pound.  The cut is slightly different here in Oz, as it also included the ribs.
