First overnight smoke.


I used a 14.5 # whole brisket. I started charcoal at 8:20 and put meat
on at 9:00. I had to adjust temp for about 1 hour. When I got the WSM
to hold at ~ 230 degrees, (vents where opened about 1/3) I went to
bed. I woke up at 7:00 a.m. checked the smoker, it was holding at 228
degrees! Opened all vents, tapped smoker to knock "dust" of charcoal,
smoker went to 245 degrees. I let it ride for another 2 hours. I
pulled meat at internal temp of 187 degrees. I have a hunk in my hand
as I type. Couldn't be happier! I can't believe how well it held the
temp.
