Well, it's been a long wait for me to have the time to actually smoke something on the Pitmaker Long Rifle Sniper, so today I have some time, so here goes. Going to do a brisket for sammiches, and some baby backs for dinner.......so first off you have to have fuel...mostly oak with a few pieces of ash mixed in...

Nothing really specatcular here, just a Walmart brisket.....a little over 10lbs...

Fire's lit....not sure why the top log looks so big in the pic...it really isn't that big......

Pit settles in on temp.....going to try to sat between 270 and 280 today

Since the pit is mostly empty, I put a water pan in with it.... ribs will go on shortly...
 
Looking good... :thumb:

* Official request for wide shot to see the space of the cooker!
 
Ribs are rubbed down...trying something a little different (maybe some of you have already tried it) I put a base of rib tickler on first, then coated with Pig Powder. We'll see how it works out....time to enjoy the cigar and libation while tending the stick burner.....

Here you go Josh...not sure what you can see through the smoke. There is one brisket and 3 racks. You could actually go two briskets deep on each of the shelves, and probably 4 or 5 across....times three racks.

Beautiful, pristine cooking grids... Good thing you took a picture... Last time they'll look that way!
 
ribs wrapped...(just found out I have no brown sugar, oh well) brisket wrapped...internal 180 degrees....
 
We expect plenty of pics Smoke.

Looks great so far.

Well, the ribs were pretty farking good.....

Plenty of moisture...the smoke ring from oak is not near as red as with hickory...

Personally, I like "fall off the bones ribs" so these could have gone a little longer.....but for competition, pretty much nailed it....
