    Thanks guys!! I'm having fun!  It's taking some time to come back up to temp. Lots of cold meat on a cold night. Going to start really feeding her soon. I'm cruising around 250. Need to be over 300.

    Edit: just checked her, I'm over the hump and cruising around of 275-285

    You'll probably be able to use pretty good sized chunks of wood on that beast at that temp - as compared to the small splits I try to use on my home offset - especially if I'm shooting for 250 or so.

    With that capacity I figure you can toss a brisket in there with every low&slow cook (regardless of the main protein) just to have something to munch on.  What a set-up.  Enjoy and have fun sounds like an understatement.

    @The Cen-Tex Smoker I found the Brisket!!



    16 butts rubbed and ready. Going on around 3am at 300 degrees.




    4 racks of beef ribs, 2 racks of duroc ribs, 3 racks of st Louis ribs . And a prime brisket going down for the parade as well. And 80lbs of boneless chicken.

    We'll see how it goes tomorrow!
    this is much better. Carry on.

    Man that is a thing of beauty.  The trailer alone is a thing of beauty, but seeing 16 butts loaded up with plenty of room to spare brings a tear to my eye.

    @johnmitchell: Grim mentioned that he is cooking for a charity event today (Fat Tuesday).   


    Which came first the chicken or the egg?  I egged the chicken and then I ate his leg.

    @Thatgrimguy , Dang-a friggin grand slam home-run.  Congrats on nailing it right out of the gate.  I am quite sure your target audience will be overwhelmed by the flavor and texture of your opening major cook on the new rig.  Enjoy many more.

    Congrats @Thatgrimguy for a great community service.  I recall schedule-wise you were pushing the envelope with the Shirley delivery and this event.  Even with the unplanned devastating event you (and Shirley) made it happen.  Well-done and best wishes for the cooks ahead and the circuit this season.

    Glad to see that things got sorted out.

    I hope you'll post a thread in a couple of months once you've had a chance to get some more time with your new baby with some thoughts on your rig and how everything is working out and if there are things you would do differently design and layout wise.

    It may take like a year for me to get over the honeymoon period. Then I may be able to better criticize. Right now it feels so perfect!

    It went pretty darn good for a first cook. What you say @SGH ?

    I thought it turned out spectacular considering the volume of food, short cook window, and the maiden voyage on the big rig. The brisket was money, the beef ribs were money, the pork ribs were money, the chicken was money, the pulled pork was money.  And did I mention that brisket was a big pile of money? The big rig ran smooth and was very easy to adjust on the fly. I was very impressed with it to say the least. It responded in minutes to every stick added. When you can lock a rig that size at 375 degrees and it doesn't blink, that speaks volumes to its quality. It was like driving a Cadillac my friend.
