First Smobot Brisket

jdkeithbge

Got my Smobot installed earlier this evening and decided to do an overnight brisket cook. Not sure if others have had this issue but my stock damper screw was not long enough to thread with the Smobot spacer. Eric @reinhart36 was  quick to respond to a Sat evening email but I wound up getting a M6-1x22mm screw to do the trick. Stock was about 14mm. 

Will keep you all posted but so far Smobot is following its prime directive quite well! You can see where I opened the lid and placed a just thawed brisket on.

I have a beta version.  My spacer looks much shorter than yours.  I wonder if Eric updated that, or you got an out of spec spacer.

They sell two models for different kamados. Could be they just mixed up the wrong spacer with the one sent to you. Assuming the spacers and screws are ven that different among the various brands of kamados.

Here are some better pics of the spacer prior to install.

Pulled it at 9:30am this morning, temp was 202F, then FTC till 11:45am. It was a little more done around the edges than I'd have liked but overall it turned out good.

Looks too complicated for this cook.

@flexfusion yes it mostly an excuse to play with the new Smobot.

Since I'm an enginerd, here are some stats from the Smobot output from the time the brisket went on till when it was pulled.  Target temp was 250.

			Grill Temp	Error %
		Min	236	5.6%
		Max	261	4.4%
Cook Time	10h 44m 18s	Avg	249.93	0.03%

They're for sale on their website now but I have no idea as to the delivery timeframe.
