    The brisket sizzling away at 408 degrees smoker temp. I dropped the humidity inside the cook chamber to 48% to start tightening the brisket up a little at this point.imageimage

    Thank you brother. I have been experiment with the hooks and really like the results thus far. Helps to get a very consistent color as well as a very even "cook" if you will. Again thanks for the kind words my friend.

    Brother I wish that I would have bought a mini years ago. It honestly makes better steaks than the large egg. And thank you for the kind words my friend.

    I've never seen steaks on hooks before, pretty cool and they looked great.

    I am already trying to figure out how to manage getting a small or mini. I am still trying to get decent with the large and grilling overall, lol.

    Brother you do excellent in your cooks. A little advice my friend. If you don't already have a mini or small wait and get the mini/max. Why? It's the best of both worlds combined. If you don't won't to wait on the mini/max someone else makes one. I think that it's red in color. ;)

    Just my opinion but I think that you will be happier with the mini/max. Why? The height of the mini with the grid capacity of the small. Best of both eggs combined into one egg. Also if you have a large you can use the mini/max grids on a spider in your large for searing. You won't have to buy seperate sear grids. The mini/max uses the same grids as the small egg. I think that it's a well thought out design. Or one could argue that it's a "copy" if you will. But a excellent design nonetheless.

    Looks great! You said you dropped Pit RH to 48%. How are you monitoring and controlling RH? Being a HVAC/R guy this interests me even more so. A modified digital sling psychrometer?

    You guessed it my friend. I have a few friends in the AC industry that help me along here and there. Also I have a sling psychrometer for checking RH/DP at work before allowing coating to be applied that are FBE'S.

    Brother I'm not saying it because I cooked them. Those shrimp stuffed chickens are incredible. I will gladly PM you the procedure if you would like to try them. They are no doubt a crowd pleaser without question or doubt my friend.

    I imagine it does. Gives you two different angles to hit it and easy to feel the resistance.

    5 hours 40 minutes and 7 seconds in and this bad boy is done. Not to bad for what started out as 17 pounds after the trim. I held no lower than 375 and as high as 415 coming down the stretch. If this turns out good....Look out Myron Mixon!! imageimageimage
