    ROOKIE SMOKER...NEED SOME HELP

    Very odd. From what I've read, most gassers have a hard time keeping the temperature down, not up. I will echo vmastros above and say that you should try wrapping the smoker. Wind has a huge affect on temps too, so maybe try to re-evaluate the location. SO MS Smoker brings up another good point...

    First ever smoke - Brisket (many pics encl.)

    Thanks both. I did wrap at 170F as it was "stalling" at that temp and took it to 190F before resting it. But I did not add any broth, I will do that for the other half of the packer. I will also try fat-cap down.

    First ever smoke - Brisket (many pics encl.)

    Hi guys, I decided for my first smoke, I'd try my hand at a brisket. Equipment is a Masterbuilt Pro Dual Fuel, propane smoker from Home Depot. I used propane and wood chunks instead of charcoal/wood chunks. Full packer brisket from meat shop, a little over 16lbs. I would have preferred...
