Getting crowded but it’ll work. I’d get a bigger smoker but the tricks I did with this one work too well to let it go. Nice even end to end heat.Hehehehe- gonna be ribs too!
When old age trades skill on technology! I price some BBQ technology and for what they want I'll have to miss sleep!I can only smoke on long weekends. I’m old now and need a full day to recover from an all-nighter! I dig this thermometer though. It wasn’t cheap, but worth it.
I smoke the old--fashioned way.
So you have met my father and brother!A cigar.
I have it better, wife does it but I maintain the fire with fruit woods like apple. Have lots left over since the beavers hit.I smoke the old--fashioned way. Low and slow, oak and pecan wood, and hours of tending to the smoker. I'm retired, and I have my techniques down and it works quite well.
If or when my smoker gets to the point it will have to be replaced, a pellet smoker is high on the list for it's replacement.I used to smoke meat the old fashioned way. I was pretty good at it too, if I do say so myself. My wife’s breathing issues prevent me from using a stick burner anymore, so I now use a pellet grill/smoker. Meat still turns out the same, with the same flavor and smoke ring. The only difference is my wife doesn’t wheeze for a week after, and I don’t get up every few hours to tend the fire.
We have an electric smoker as well as a pellet smoker. The pellet smoker is easier to deal with since I don't have to add wood chips into the hopper every few hours.I used to smoke meat the old fashioned way.

So, how did the brisket turn out?
