Hi all! Just joined today but have been reading the site for several years. I've learned a lot from several places but this is my goto for all things grilling/smoking. I started with a cheap offset many years ago and as it started to fall apart I moved up to a 22" Weber kettle that I'd always looked at. Couple that with a Slow-n-Sear and that makes up my gear currently. I do miss the capacity of the offset but I don't find myself cooking for a large crowd too much so its ok.
I've become very familiar with doing spare ribs or baby back ribs and those have been my favorite item to do. A couple of weeks ago I finally braved the notion of doing a brisket and found a relatively small one for the wife and I at Sam's. I was a bit concerned at how it would turn out but it only took around 6 hours or so (with foiling to get through the stall). It turned out great! Last weekend I did another one and was going to skip the foil, but ended up adding some to speed things up in the last hour as I realized I should've started sooner.
Today I picked up a whole packer brisket and will do the trimming myself. I'm going to give a go at the corned beef and then following that up with some pastrami! I've come to quickly realize I should've tried the brisket a long time ago as it is quickly moved up to the top of my favorites list!
Hope to still learn a lot of new things here and looking forward to continuing improving my skills!
