Anything I missed? I will be sealing it up in the future, rope seal around the lid. Figure this should get me going though.

Welcome to smf B. Jumping right in. Way to go. Took me a few smokes before I got my SnP mods done. Good luck with the brisket and don't forget the q-view.
 
Here's my brisket just getting goin. Baffle seems to be working well, as I am within 5" on each thermo. Update in about 6 beers.
