I'm from Longview, Tx looking to get into the art of smoking. Love cooking on grill though I'm amateur at best. My goal is to learn to master the grill and smoker. My wife bought me my first smoker for Father's Day and my uncle referred me here to get the best advice possible.

Ifa3, howdy, and welcome to SMF!  Glad you are here, have such a thoughtful wife and a well-informed uncle.  All our ideas are free for the finding. 

Enjoy the new smoker!

Happy Father's Day!

Welcome from SC. It's really good to have you here on this great site.

I didn't know that I had a nephew in Texas.

This weekend I'm thinking about doing a good brisket. First time. Questions about prep tips, time and temperature, etc? How big of a brisket to feed 8-10 people? As I've said already this is my first time, brand new to this so advice is greatly appreciated.
