.   Not sure what happened when I tried to upload a photo before, but here is the brisket after smoking and resting, and the second photo is after I started slicing it. Meat wanted to fall apart when I sliced it.  Tasted good, but seemed a little dry.  I was having trouble maintaining the...

Thanks for the help, I will make sure to post pics!

I can't take credit for the idea of draping over a can, SmokinAl gave me that advice in a previous post.  When I smoked with a pork butt I got it to a certain temperature then I wrapped in foil for the rest of the time.  Is that something I should do with Beef, and if so at what temperature...

I used it twice since I seasoned the smoker. First time did 2 pork butts, and the second time did 2 chickens.

I recently got one also, and I am having the same problem with temperature spikes even when the intake damper is fully closed.  I have not sealed mine yet, and I have some leaks, but I assume that would not be causing the temperature to be higher?  Am I correct in thinking this, or could not...

Recently got a DynaGlo Offset Charcoal Smoker as a father's day gift and came across the forums when I was looking for information online.  I look forward to learning all I can from the other members of the forum, and also contributing to the forums when I gain some experience.
