Things in my life are much better now and I just received a RecTec RT700 from Santa. Looking forward to getting back into smoking and outdoor cooking after about a...

    What do I have here?

    Little background I guess.  My mother in law said she would supply the meat if I would smoke it for Christmas lunch.  She was going to get "a" brisket and some turkey breast to put on my MES.  She show's up with the brisket and this is what I got.  What am I up against, I've only smoked a few...

    2nd Brisket with some Q-view

    Smoked a flat yesterday and it came out pretty good.  My best so far.  It hung up at 150ish and I just kept trucking.  Wrapped at 170, off at 200 and then wrapped in an army wool blanket in the cooler for 1.5 hrs.  Not quite as juicy as I'd like, but man was it tender! Not great pics, but...
