Got a smoker for my Birthday!

This:

So far, I smoked some salmon yesterday, and it was freaking delicious!
I shall attempt a brisket on Sunday. Stay tuned for results.

Bullshit. That was all I did in middle school!

Brisket went in at 5:30 this morning. Got a mix of hickory and mesquite chips going. I've got a remote thermometer with an alarm if it gets too hot. I'll be taking it out at about 60 this evening.
*fingers crossed*

2:15--meat temp is at 150. Lookin' good!

Well, the butcher left too much of the fat cap on, so I lost a bunch of bark when I had to cut off the excess fat before serving.
Also, the meat stalled at 154, so I had to do the Texas crutch (foil wrap), and crank it to about 300 for the last hour-and-a-half or so.
Still turned out pretty damn good. Great flavor, not quite as tender as I'd hoped, but close. With some Sweet Baby Ray's Chipotle Sauce, slaw, and stuffed peppers, t'was a pretty fine meal.
