It’s my 4th cook on this smoker, it’s actually a little easier than I thought it would be. Today was hot n fast brisket, mostly hovering between 275-300. Saved somewhere between 5 and 8 hours over doing 225 overnight on the pellet grill.
12 lbs, trimmed, traeger prime rib rub because I had half a can left and we need spice cabinet space. The fat was rendered in a small foil pan. Half went back to the brisket at the wrap, half saved for whatever on later cooks. Pulled around 195, 2 hour rest, best brisket I’ve had in a really long time.
Beans are make something up recipe. Garlic, onions, bacon, 4 or 5 kinds of canned beans including 1 can of bush’s, can of Pepsi, half cup of bbq sauce. Pasta salad was the other side.
Didn’t plan to post, so light on the pics. Beans thrown in at the wrap, and the slice. Thanks for reading along.

This is why some people won't try a stick burner... Thinking it's to hard.. It's actually really easy once learned (which is easy to do as well) ...
 
Thanks everyone for the kinds words. I’ll take this opportunity to post a pic of the smoker too, my son built it as a semester project- I think he did a pretty good job. Quarter inch steel, he used the calculator for size and openings, I’ve got the stainless adjuster wheel at the firebox door. I got everything I wanted on the smoker.
