Working on my first smoker, a UDS, just looking for hints and suggestions.

I went to Texas last year and was introduced to brisket, which is not available here... So I thought I'd better make my own. But I stumbled on the Fattie and now I see I'm going to be spending a lot more time with my smoker.

Welcome to the SMF. Many were drawn in here via some desire for smoked meat that they could not get easily. (pulled pork for me). Welcome to your new habit. Lots of info here.

The 5 day e-course and Jeff's rub's are a great start to learn as well.

Here is a recent thread to dig through on building a drum smoker. There are some good links in it:

I'm talking about brisket that somebody else has smoked, Smokey Bones has a sandwich and a dinner, but it kinda sucks and they slather it with sauce. Every other place I try hands you a plate of stringy, chopped up beef and they say it's brisket.

I can get whole brisket at Sam's Club at a pretty good price.
