First Cook

I picked up my large Egg last Friday and spent Saturday figuring out how to manage the temperature and cooked some hamburgers as well.
Saturday night my first cook happened with a 12 pound brisket. I was amazed at how the Egg rocked all night at 220* even in the rain storm we were having. Didn't have to add any lump either. A lot less work than my old water smoker. Anyway, I took the brisket off 13 hours later (it probably should have gone longer but I had family coming over for lunch) and it was a real hit.
I think I'm going to like this thing.

I've been cooking on a Brinkmann water smoker for the past year and it was a lot of work.
-
It's only the second one I've done (the first was on my Brinkmann smoker). This one needed some more time but family was comnig over and I took it off at 170* instead of 180-185.
Turned out OK though.
