I have wanted one for years and I finally saw one at Costco for $220 less than I could find it anywhere else so I went ahead and pulled the trigger. Got it set up pretty quick. I work tomorrow and I'm off Sunday so I know what I will be doing. I think I'm going to start with a brisket.

They're nice. I'm dealing with a Masterbuilt electric smoker right now, and love it. I've used it for everything from pork shoulder to cold smoking cheese. I love putting whole green bell peppers in it, along with whole garlic cloves. Good stuff!

I smoked my brisket on Sunday. Over all a great smoker I think. Burns very clean with lump coal. I think I may need to get larger size coal chunks so it does not burn out as quick. My fist load of coal burned out in about 4 hrs so I had to relight it. That took a while and the brisket cooled down in that time. The egg burns pretty clean while still imparting the smoked flavor to the meat. Practice makes perfect..... I have about 10lbs of brisket that we need to go through but once that is gone I need to smoke something else.

Follow your nose. I have about 7 or 8 lbs of brisket in the fridge. I'll set a plate.

That smoker looks like a work of art, congrats.

Got a couple perk turkeys back at Christmas. I was in a hurry and skipped some steps but they were moist and tender and tasted really good, like ham. I put salt and sugar in the cavity and smoked them with hickory gathered from our own trees. I will raise my own turkeys if I live long enough.

I have brined meat in the past. It is worth reading enough to understand the difference between brine and marinade. I am going to try to make my own pastrami.
