Inaugural Cook for the new Large BGE

I've had the MiniMax for a couple of months. Also had a Chargriller Akorn for a few years, but the interior started flaking into the food, no bueno!!! Shouldn't have cheaped out in beginning, but I've learned a lesson. Came across a good Demo deal on a new Egg. Basically got a free plate setter and a nest ($200 value).
So for the inaugural cook, I made an Easter Brisket! Also made a very tasty ham, but that's not as exciting, so I won't include the pics on that (didn't take any of it anyways).
About midway through the cook:

The finished product:

Came out perfect! It was a hit and I think our family has a new tradition in making a brisket for Easter.
The large keeps a much more stable temperature than the MiniMax, but that's to be expected. Very happy with the new addition to the family.

Nice cook, I just picked up a prime brisket over the weekend. It's going to be my first time cooking one so this is inspirational.
