First Cook on my 22.5 WSM
« on: January 01, 2015, 09:46:46 AM »
Here we go! I've got a 14 pound brisket sitting next to a 4 pound pork loin.

As expected, the first cook is slightly above where we would call normal. She is holding steady at 270-275. I used regular kingsford, and some pecan chunks for smoke.

The pork loin hit internal temp of 150, right around the 2.5 hour mark as I expected. I let it rest for 30 minutes before slicing. Despite not really having a smoke ring, it has a great smoke flavor and is quite juicy.

Very happy with the results.

I remember my first cook on Bertha...my 22.5 WSM....happy times. As that cooker gets more cooker under her belt the seasoning will produce better and better smoke rings.

I'm at 8 hours on the brisket. I've added fuel a couple of times. It's only about 35 degrees here. Internal temp is stalled just under 160. Still reaching for 190. Looks like a few more hours to go. Can't rush good bbq.

And here we are at 10.5 hours at 192 degrees. Pulled it off and going to let it rest for 30 minutes before slicing.

Both looks great. Nice smoke ring on the brisket.

Thanks! Overall, I'm pretty happy with the cook. The brisket was very juicy and tasted fantastic.

I would have liked to have gotten a more intense smoke ring, but I'm told this is pretty normal in a brand new cooker. I may need to use a bit more wood going forward. I've always smoked in a pure stick burner where there is no problem getting a good smoke ring.

I cooked a bunch of chicken breasts too, along with some pork chops. At one time, I had the smoker and two kettles going at the same time. That was fun!

Awesome cook! I am still working up the nerve to smoke a brisket.
A bunch of pork butts or whole shoulders will help gunk that smoker up quickly.

Nice!  I must have checked out the thread before the brisket pics because I remember thinking "cliffhanger" ...
Looks great!  Nice setup you got there, too.
