As a starter smoker you can't go wrong with an mes 40. SAMs club sells them for $300. Also pick up an amnps from Todd and you can be all set for basic smoking. Welcome to the forum!
I use bear claws and my hands to pull mine. I also pour all of the juices out of the pan into a gravy separator then add the defatted juices back to the meat after pulling. If you don't have a separator you can use a gallon size plastic bag. Pour all the juices in the bag and the fat will float...
Everything looks great. I'm going on vacation for a few weeks but when i get back I'm starting my sausage making adventures. Good to see another Colorado person too!
It will probably take between 9 and 12 hours to cook at 225. The ones costco sells in that weight are flats. You can do it early and hold the meat for up to 4 hours foiled and wrapped in towels in a cooler.
I usually start mine around 10pm, add the thermometer around 11 or 12 and foil around 7am or whenever my et-371 alarm goes off. Then I let it go to at least 200. I smoke mine at 225 with hickory dust. I rub mine with a dry rub from a place called Rudy's and nothing else. Turns out great every time.
Brisket is super easy with the MES and the AMNS. I load mine full of hickory, light both ends and let it go. I always do them overnight as I am a night owl not really a morning person. After the AMNS I never use the built in chip system anymore.
I made two of these the other night. They came out tasting great with almost a ham type flaver. Made a rub with salt, brown sugar, paprika, and pepper. It was great. Here's the q view:
