Soo I got a WSM for Christmas from my wife.

I have little experience in smoking meat but after reading the forums I have done a turkey, and two Boston Butts which turned out pretty tasty. I fired up the smoker last Saturday to take a stab at an 8 pound brisket and thought I would see if my buddies wanted to chuck anything on.....



 We ended up with an 8 pound brisket, 2 8 pound butts and couple hens ( hens finished fast tasted ok but couldn't take all the smoke)


Put the brisket on top sorry no photo. I used hickory and cherry chucks as my woods (Yes I soaked). I thought this was a cool photo of the water after the soaking.


The smoke went well kept the temps between 225 and 250 outside. The WSM is idiot proof I think

It ended up being about a 12-14 hour smoke between the butts and the brisket.


The final product....



This is my first post with pictures so be nice.... Cheers

Jonathan and my smoking buddy.

 
Looks good! & yeah chicken takes on smoke pretty quick & can be overpowered by the stronger woods like hickory - especially if you don't eat a lot of smoked food. Nice large smoke & nice ring on the brisket

Looks real good. It's funny how dogs are always a smokers best friend. Mine will stay by my side for the duration of the smoke doesn't matter what the weather is. Again fine looking feed you got there.
