I sure hope so.. did some ribs and chicken on my brother in laws Weber upright a couple weeks back and decided i needed my own.

well, looks like i will be doing a brisket this weekend along with my pork shoulder.. wife just picked up last 2 at Metro at $3.99/lb

 

[Deezel13]

Well.. here we go first cook on smoker..
About a 6lb pork shoulder... lathered with mustard, covered completely with the Keg chicken and rib spice popped it on at 8am by the time the smoker reached a steady...ish 230 to 250. And my favorite Timmies mug of course.
Edit.. forgot to mention, using Cowboy brand Oak & Hickory lump, and apple wood chunks.

Gotcha. You didn't do anything wrong but we usually wrap when we've achieved desired bark and color. Normally anytime between 165-180 or when it stalls.......also you don't have to wrap at all unless you are in a hurry. Just some tips for your next smoke

 

[Deezel13]

First go.. not sure what bark and color I desire yet..lol
