    You Know The Job Market Is Bad

    Reminds me of a "MAD Magazine" thing from the late 70s called "Things We Would Like To See In Fortune Cookies". Or something like that.

    May Have To Change Username Eventually

    Thanks, my seniority should easily hold it. That's a good potential new name: BackInTexas I like it.

    Got the Call now what gauges do you suggest

    In spite of what the internet geniuses who constantly make videos for clicks and $, nothing wrong with that, just saying, will tell you, you can run a Bell Fab with the exhaust NOT fully open and still have a good clean burning fire. That will help keep the temps down, if desired.

    WTF is up with wild fork prices

    Haven't seen this because the last several times I have checked their brisket prices they are a dollar or more per pound than Costco. So, I didn't get far enough to see this issue you described.

    Very First Ever Brisket

    You haven't lived if you didn't screw up your first several briskets.

    Smokestack Damper

    Yes, it is maybe a few minutes, and, of course, I try my best to avoid spikes anyway with smaller splits, etc. Once the temp is trending down, I begin slowly opening it back up to avoid just what you mentioned. I have posted the briskets I have done this year. They have all turned out very good.

    Smokestack Damper

    Wide open. However, and this is after talking to the guy who built my pit, if I screw up and the temps spike, I will close it 3/4 or so to get the temp back down.

    Yep. I am getting a great bark at around 250° average temp and about 7-8 hours in the smoke. Finish in the oven about 3-4 more hours. Pork St. Louis cut spare ribs, done at around 3 hours at the same temperature. These beasts are serious convection ovens.

    Yeah my 24x48 was $950 with a slightly modified exhaust 2 years ago. He is still the best deal going from what I can tell.
