Looks great! How do you like your Old Country Smoker? Been looking at those lately and am close to making a decision.  A lot of WSM fans around though and those sound easier to control the temperatures than the offsets.  Just curious how you like yours. Thanks!
 
TexasJason- I really like it a lot. I guess that I'm old school and love the challenge the offset smoker presents.  I've had my OCP for about a year now and this is the first real smoker that I've owned. What sold me is that Aaron Franklin uses the Old Country smokers in his videos so I figured that if it good enough for him it is good enough for me.  It cooks really well, just have to add a stick to the fire about every 20 minutes but that is what I wanted.  I've never had a WSM so I cannot compare the two.  For the price, it is a very good smoker.

Thanks for all the nice comments.  I'll be posting more pics as I cook more.
 
 
This is great inspiration. My first packer is thawing in the frige now, waiting to go on either tomorrow or the next day.
Awesome.  I encourage you to watch Aaron Franklin's videos on YouTube.  He has a great video about smoking a brisket.  Can't wait to see the pics.

I check for doneness by feel.  I start feeling the brisket by starting at 190.  I'm looking for the brisket to become soft and pliable. For this particular brisket the softness and pliablity that I liked was when the IT hit 202. All briskets are different and will be done at different IT's. This is just what I do. Eager to hear what others do.
