Auto stoker

I have one i use on my primo and my WSM you will be happy with your investment. watch these videos http://www.youtube.com/user/robmongeon they will get you going asap.

You will like it. Just be sure to keep it dry, and download the Stokerlog program mentioned on the home page of Rock's site. Stokerlog, regretably, isn't as reliable as the Stoker itself, but it's a handy tool. Use the latest production firmware (www.kaytat.com) but stay away from the beta versions as many people report those be slower. The Automated Temperature Control forum on www.tvwbb.com will have details about which version of Stokerlog and Stoker firmware to run.

Unrelated to the stoker: if you are doing a long cook on a wsm, you will most likely have to clean out the ash and refuel before the brisket is done. If you start to lose temp toward the end, check that first.

I've got a Guru on one of my WSMs & I love it! Talk about "set it & forget it".

Have you tried smoking a brisket without it? Just curious I kinda like the process of checking the fire (not very often with an Egg however).
