Hello from Southeast Texas!

[Meat Fighter]

Hello All,
I just picked up the new Pit Boss PB1100 from Lowe’s last weekend. I’ve never really seriously smoked anything before that wasn’t on a Weber kettle, but said, “Screw it!” And went for broke. I picked a 12lb Prime brisket, watched some YouTube vids, trimmed it, put a salt and pepper rub on it and put it on the smoker. I had a little trouble at first with some wild temperature swings, and a minor “explosion” , but got it mostly under control. In the end I determined my temps were about 30+ degrees above what I was hoping so it finished up a few hours early, but surprisingly it came out super tender and tasty, if only a little bit dry. Overall, for my first brisket ever and my first cook ever on a brand new pit, I’m calling it a success.

I’m hoping to connect with some other Pellet Smokers and good folks in general.

Cheers!

Congrats on your 1st brisket cook.

Glad to hear there were no complaints. Bark and smoke ring look nice.

Welcome, from another SE Texas fella. You should be proud of that 1st brisket. I think my first brisket got turned into work boots! Now I know why dogs kept following me around. LOL.

I did my homework. Lurking here and watching YouTube made a difference.
