National night out, me and smoker got dinner duty. So, I did my best ... tell me what you think.

The charcoal basket discussed last time I posted all this, but in a slightly different config. This gave me a GREAT 3 hour burn, and let me reload in sections, because the middle open section kept the other side from lighting too fast.

Here's the same charcoal basket, lit up.

After some time in the smoke, here are the ribs ... love that smoke ring. I did three of these racks, in 3-2-1 method.

Pork loin, cooked to 150. Totally juicy - you can see it running off onto the cutting board.

The flat of the brisket. To keep the cooking time down, I sliced off some of the flat and cooked it separately. Done WAY faster, but good smoke ring and good flavor.

The big honkin' brisket is resting in the cooler, due to be cut in about 30 minutes. Yes, there'll be pics.
Updated! Here she is, and man - my best yet. First big huge brisket - cooking weight probably 9lbs, took about 10 hours + 1 in the cooler, came out juicy and drippin ... lovin' it ...

And the same brisket, better shot of the ring.

Just when I polished off a couple of last weekends chicken thighs with the usual baked beans side and slaw, I view pictures like this!!
Outstanding and the rings are very nice.
My brisket gets local raves and has the smoke ring to boot, still workin' on the sliced portions vs the shredded approach.
Thanks for sharing,
Wes

Nice job bro'.

I'm curious on how long it took for the coals on the right side of the basket to light up.
