Got a new 20070115 Bluetooth MES40 on a great deal to replace my old original MES30.

Seasoned it for 6 hours and then grabbed some Brisket over the weekend.  Picked up a 6lb flat from the local butcher.

Trimmed with about 1/4 inch fat on the bottom.  Salt and pepper only.

225 degrees, in for 10 hours to 195.  Pecan and Hickory.  No water in the pan.

(stalling at 160)

Added a few italian sausages at 1PM to smoke for 4 hours, with apple wood.  Steady climb to 174 and stalled for a couple hours.  Powered through to 195 and pulled all.

Having the remote control is awesome. I just got that unit for x mas did 20 lbs of snack sticks and summer sausage effortlessly. I never knew there was a remote controlled smoker untill now. What's next a man on the moon.

Looks fantastic!

I'm going to hold off on brisket for a while but man do I want to try.  Gotta get my temperature issues sorted out before I go and tackle a Texas sized brisket.

I hope mine comes out as good looking as yours :)
