First cook on my Shirley!

[tcv21]

I was up at 0500 CST. Started the fire at 0530 and had it to temp by 6am. I have 2 pork butts and 3 briskets on right now. 2 Wagyu and 1 choice. Got some ribs and a Prime Rib I will put on later. Its a great day.

Very nice break in cook on the new Shirley. Where do you get briskets in your area?

 

[tcv21]

The choice I got at Sam's club. The 2 Wagyu are from different supplies. One is a SRF Gold Grade and the other is from Carroll Lewis from www.marbleousbeef.com out of Dallas.

Looks like you know what you are doing, is your Shirley really as easy as you have made it look to be? Nice smoker and a good first cook on the way.

Very cool. So much room in there! Nice to see the setup as mine will be 30x70 so pretty close. Looking forward to the results.

Looking excellent! That is a big smoker.

One hour in. The smell is amazing. You know the smell.. hickory burning clean.. the smell of bbq lazily blowing in all directions.

Looking good!! Real good! Can't wait to join you. What a great first cook!! I had a SRF gold in my cart for the new cooker but ended up getting a case of prime from a local grocery for the same price. Figure I could use the practice more than the treat since I've never used a stick burner before.

Coming along nicely! Has the bark developed enough or are you wrapping by time?

It's going to take a lot of meat to fill that beast up. :thumb:
