I just read Jeff’s 9 tips for pellet smokers and realize we’re on the same page. I started a brisket a few hours ago. Low temp to start, smoke tube with lid from Amazon, meat on rack in foil tray for cleanup. Here’s a few pics for the start up. I’m 12 hours in, added pics. Be careful with the smoke tubes as they get ash everywhere when burned up if you aren’t careful with them. I put them in a foil tray tin and set aside and eventually a coal bucket or yard when cool. Resting the brisket in a cooler for two hours and then we will see. oMG, this brisket is amazing. Just took it out of the cooler. Tender, moist, and the flavor is off the charts.

It stalled after 8 hours at 160 so wrapped it in peach paper. I put another smoke tube in (6”) as this paper is supposed to breath but I don’t know so just let it burn out and let the camp chef do the rest. Plan to pull at 205 and rest.
