    Brisket and Pork at the same time

    Hello from Wirral, UK

    Hi! Whilst we are enjoying the unusual summer over her in England - there is Sun and it hasn't rained properly* in weeks, I thought I would make the most of it and start on my smoking journey. I have purchased a WSM 57cm (22.5") and so far managed a small test cook of pulled and whole chicken...
