    #Team275 on my Masterbuilt 40!

    Nice smoke! I can't argue with the name but I will second the AMNPS... I looked at the wedgie when I got my maze but it only advertises 2 plus hours of smoke, I wanted more set it and forget it(I just had my maze go for 12 hours overnight last night!) good luck!

    Multiple brisket question

    Something to consider is how quickly the smoker can get back up to temp after you put the meat in.  I am not familiar with your smoker but I know sometimes when I pack mine full of cold meat it will take a bit to get back up there.  Good luck, I am finishing up a brisket for a baby shower right now!

    Smokin hot in AZ

    Welcome! I have a masterbuilt myself and certainly love the set it and forget it nature...I don't deal with the AZ heat up here in Buffalo but I would imagine if the heat down there held the box at let's say 150 then you'd be ok on the temp because the controller will still turn off the heating...

    Returning to the game!

    Welcome back! I have a thermoworks smoke with no complaints but there is a newer therm you can check out in the reviews that just looks amazing if you're willing to shell out the cash.  Search for some reviews on the "fireboard".  Good luck!

    Newbie smoker here

    Times vary so widely based on your temp, how often you open your smoker, moisture, outside temp, and wind... patience is key! I'd say you're probably looking 10-16 hours based on the above factors. Good luck! Happy smoking!

    First brisket (overnight)

    I'd start checking around 195 just in case it's tender early!

    First brisket (overnight)

    Good luck... what sticky said!  Unwrap after you push through the stall and that should help the bark. Were you checking temp on the smoker or with a probe? My MES therm isn't extremely accurate but when I get it where I want it seems to hold well.  Hope it turns out for you!

    Under the sea - seafood tower(2)

    Thanks Adam! Thanks for the point moon! My take on the cold seafood tower!  Thanks Thanks for the points! I use breadcrumbs mixed with some parm cheese and garlic powder then a thin slice of butter topped with the bacon... I don't half cook the bacon if I am broiling it! Thanks, I actually...
