    Welcome aboard and enjoy the journey.  Above all, have fun.
    With your experience, feel free to pass on any insights.  
    I will wet age briskets for 3-4 weeks when I plan that far ahead but dry aging one is new to me.  I would guess this is not your first dry age brisket rodeo.

    Welcome to the forum. Sorry you had to give up your pizza oven; I have one and love it for all kinds of cooks. It seems you have a lot of cooking experience. Jump in here - post cooks - and be active. That's what makes it fun. I've learned a lot from the folks here.

    Large BGE & Mini Max for the wok. A few old camp Dutch ovens and a wood fired oven. LSG 24” cabinet offset smoker. There are a few paella pans and a Patagonia cross in the barn. A curing chamber for bacterial transformation of meats...

    Welcome! Post that brisket cook. The ceramic has its nuances but it sounds like you’ve got the experience and it’s a great option for CO. I lived in the Springs for a few years and had an offset and gasser at the time...everything was dry and always worried about the fire issue.

    Welcome. Hoping you enjoy smoking in Thornton as opposed to the smoke in Thornton (pictured below). Kiddo took this shot from near you. Guessing you see it every day.

    Welcome to the circus.  So, if you have not yet tried a low and slow, perhaps start off with a couple chickens or a pork butt to get the feel of the egg.  Both are very forgiving.  Butt, seeing as you have been around the block a few times with 'Q, you may want to jump right in!
