You have to cook a Turkey hotter than that! Suprised nobody got sick....
Search these forums for Turkey and you'll find that they're safely cooked at a higher temp. I did mine between 325 and 350.
Anyway, back on topic....
Just make sure the smoke is thin and...
Make sure your exhaust is wide open....if you get a build up of stale smoke in the smoking area, you can get a build-up of creosote on your meat. Keep that air exchanged an you'll be set. Remember, if you can smell the smoke, you're smoking.
Believe it or not, that is quoted directly from the CGSP manual....
That, along with keeping your vent cracked open.
I don't understand how a smoker manufacturer could misguide their customers.
Keep in mind that a Brisket will come up to temps much quicker on a UDS. Lump will work fine or maybe a combination of lump and briquettes. I'd even go as far as suggesting a water/liquid pan below the brisket....that would help even out your temps across the grate.
Good luck with your smoke.
I had a damn fine Cuban at Granite City Brewery. I like the Ciabatta it's served on.They don't press them and only toast the inside of the bread. Toasted on the outside tears the roof of my mouth up.
You'll probably want to open that rain cap all the way when you're smoking....let's it breathe so much better and cuts down on the possibility of the dreaded Creosote..
Nice deal you got on that baby!
Sounds like a draft issue. Make sure you have the right amount of intake and your exhaust is open all the way. These are just assumptions on my part since I'm not sure what type of draft controls you have....
