Good evening everyone!! I have been breaking the new pit in all day. 4 racks of bb's, and now have a 13.75lb brisket and 12lb butt on. I have a second brisket that is 5.75 lbs and Ill put that one on before I turn in for the night. Very simple SPOG on the briskets and my rub on the boston butt.

Temp is set at 245, and using the "extreme smoke" setting. I have to say, I definitely doubted this thing would hold temps consistently as advertised but I was wrong. Its been chugging along just fine with only a 1 degree temp swing. Here's what we have so far....

We're 5 hours in so far. Brisket IT is 154. I checked it and like the color it has on it so far, so I went ahead and wrapped it in foil. I also put the smaller brisket on.
IT of the butt is at 114, so I think I'm set up pretty well for the night. Hopefully by the time I wake up everything is getting close. The Maverick is set to go off at 200 degrees, so bed time for me. See you all in the mornin!
 
Ok, so for some reasom the Maverick failed me and did not go off when the brisket hit 200. I woke up at 445 and the IT was 207. I pulled the brisket amd put it in an aluminum pan with cover on it and its now resting. The IT on the smaller brisket was 201, but I moved the probe around to the flat ans there's still some resistance so it's gonna stay on for a while longer. The butt is in a massive stall, its been on for 12 hours and the IT is 160 right now. I'm not going to wrap it because I like bark too much, so we'll ride it out. I'll have more pics once I slice the brisket
