Howdy from a new Hoosier

Here she is brand new in all her Glory. During the seasoning process


Figured the first thing I would attempt is a brisket. Wasn't too bad could have been a little more tender. I think this was due to me trying to figure this smoker out. (first one I have ever owned or used). The other was i think due to the fact that what i chose had too much fat. Was moist but not as tender as I had wanted. All in all not bad tho. 


I smoked smoke green beans with onion and Whiskey barrel chips i loved the flavor wife hated it. In the pic is also a pork loin which im pretty sure the smoking gods blessed me because it was absolutely amazing and delicious. I also did a smoked spicy mac n cheese. Which was great with the Hickory Chips.



Tonight I tried Chicken Tender Breasts. Brined in a simple salt water solution with a little soy. Coated in Mayo and my rub. Smoked with cherry for about an HR @ 240. They turned out great.

Could anyone tell me why my brisket sucked lol
