Primals and pac-primals, which whole brisket falls into, are the best cuts to learn to smoke and to smoke IMO. Problem of course is that's always a lot of meat. OK so that's not such a huge problem.

As specific to brisket, smoking a real flat or point is no different than a whole pac brisket.

And the other brisket specific advice I can give is smoke it hot. If you are smoking brisket at under 225 you are doing it wrong IMO.

Yes, I would reiterate that smoking a whole brisket offers more forgiveness, IMHO.

Any issues with drying out the filets too much?

Sorry, forgot to post a pic. Skin didn't come out as crispy as I'd like, but still got some cracklings.

That's a tough temp to maintain for many smokers. Looks great!

As long as the heat doesn't rise beyond 200F I have not had any problems with that. These are still moist.

Kroger had bone in pork butt for $0.99/lb. I picked up 4, around 10 lbs each and they went on the UDS last night. I'll try to get some finished product pics shortly.

I am completely digging that Pit Barrel I bought from you, Mark. I like the set-it and forget-it ability the thing has. Still use my WSM too, but am LOVING the results on the Pit Barrel. If the cigars I traded you treated you half as well as the PBC treats me, it was a win all the way around.

Smoked some neckbones yesterday afternoon to throw in a pot of pinto beans. I did not smoke them long because
I needed to have the beans done and coolish before my disgustingly early bedtime. 50 mins on the smoker with a
yard branch fire coal bed. Did not let them cook in he beans as long as I like either, kinda messed with the flavor all around.
But still awesome.

Got ahold of some brontosaurus cut beef ribs.
They came out fantastic!
The ribs were between 10 and 11 inches long and weighed about 2 lbs each before cooking.

If anyone is considering a pellet smoker, woot has the Camp Chef pellet grills on sale again.
http://www.woot.com/offers/camp-chef...rs-your-choice

These are essentially the same ones as what Bob (chainsaw13) and I bought last year. The size, controller, auger, firepot are all the same. These just have some extra external prep shelves. It's on par with the Traegers of the same size (around $700 at Costco currently). You can easily fit two average 10-14lb pork butts / shoulders in there.

I've been quite pleased with mine.
