Hello from South Florida

[Harry Jaxson]

Greetings! I just joined today and am pretty new to wood BBQ.. I don't want to obligate to an offset smoker just yet, so I started with a 22" Slow n Sear Kettle to learn fire management etc. Several years ago, while visiting my Wife's family in Michigan, her cousin made a brisket on an offset and it was still to this day one of the best things I've ever tasted. It was then, that I said one day I am going to make this, hopefully as good. So I finally started. Did a chuck roast Sunday, turned out great. Still need practice with temperature control! Have a great day! - HJ

Welcome from central Ohio! Lot's of SnS'ers around here, so I'm pretty sure if you have a question, it'll get answered quickly.

I've got a 22" weber, but have not tried a brisket yet

(corporate accounting won't cut the purchase order for it, says it's not necessary, cook & eat something else.)

Welcome to the site.
You're right on track. Two zone cooking with wood chunks on the hot side. Chuck roast, Pork butt and ribs are a great place to start the learning process. Lots of how-to articles available on this site and lots of experienced Pitt Masters ready and willing to answer your questions.

Welcome to The Pit from Texas. I have a Weber Kettle with the SnS insert as well as a Vortex and a Cajun Bandit Rotisserie. You can do great BBQ and grilling on your SnS Kettle. Smoke-low and slow or hot and fast, grill, front and reverse sear, 2 zone cooking etc. Enjoy your cooker and post pictures of your cooks. Enjoy.

Welcome from Wisconsin. Glad you could join us!

I started with a SnS insert in my 22" Weber. You can absolutely make great BBQ on what you have.

Welcome to The Pit! Chuck roasts are great. They cook lime a brisket, but are smaller and faster to cook.
