my first smoke + new smoker

[marauderrt10]

So my wife and her parents/grandparents decided to get me a smoker for my birthday. I bought a 15lb prime packer and got it down to 11.89lbs. I started at 12am last night. Kept it at 225 for 10 hours. Then 250 for 2 hours and then finally 275 for the last hour. I was a little nervous but it came out PERFECT. Flat was moist and held its own weight and pulled apart with a slight tug. Point was dripping with juices! So happy my first smoking experience was a success!

Wow looks like you did a great job on your first smoke and a brisket no less! Takes most people awhile to work up to doing brisket I know it wasn't the first thing I tried to tackle! good job!

Thank you! I was pretty nervous the whole time but it came out amazing. My whole family ate about 7lbs in a half an hour

Great job on your first brisket!! And your first smoke as well.

It's really amazing just how much good Q can dissappear in one sitting.

Congrats!  I'm glad it came out well.  How was the smoke flavor from those Pit Boss Competition Blend pellets? :)

Looks like an amazing brisket. Just a quick tip which will save you for future cooks. Use foil on the drip tray. You will be so happy you did.

 

[marauderrt10]

yea I thought about it after I did it. I will use it from now on :)
