    Fire keeps going out...

    I paid a stupid amount of money for the wood from a BBQ online store and the oak is light colored + sounds cured when knocked together. My exhaust is set wide open as is my intake. The charcoal box is the expanded steel type. lots of holes for airflow. And like I said earlier, I have the box...

    Just cant get brisket right...

    New to the forum but have been smoking on and off for a couple of years. Most of the stuff I do comes out great, but no matter how much I read or watch on Youtube, I cant get a brisket right. I normally pull at around 204F but it usually comes out dry. I feel like one of the better briskets...
