First successful brisket on my new offset smoker

Bought this beast of a smoker last summer and it took me like 10 tries to get the temperature control right. Yesterday I nailed it. 13 hours, perfect bark, tender all the way through. Smoked enough for about 20 people and had the whole neighborhood over. My 12 year old wanted to help manage the temperature and he actually gave a shit about something I was doing for once. That might have been better than the brisket itself.

That's a journey man. I've been eyeing an offset for a while now but honestly intimidated by the learning curve. How's the brisket turning out now that you've got the hang of it?

10 tries to dial in an offset is actually pretty solid. Those things are unforgiving but once you figure out the airflow on your specific smoker it gets way easier. What temp were you struggling with mostly?

The offset smoker is the perfect dad project because it takes patience, problem solving, and gives you an excuse to spend hours in the garage. Jealous you finally nailed it.
