Hey all. New member. Kent from Quincy, IL on the Mississippi River. BBQ has been a passion of mine for over 45 yrs but I consider myself still a student. There’s a lot I still have to learn and perfect. Currently use Weber Performer, Summit charcoal, Weber e-310 Q and Smokey Joe. Just did my first brisket after all these years yesterday. Turned out wonderful. Looking forward to learning more from all the bbq brotherhood on this site. Would love to hear about tips and recommendations for controlling temperature over a 12+ hour cook for brisket. Thanks.

Welcome to The Pit Kent. The best advice I have for smokin' a brisket on a Performer is to get a Slow N Sear. That will give you the control you want, (with a little practice).

Swug - I really haven't had to make any conscious adjustments for either grilling or smoking due to altitude (6300' in my case). Of course, I had to be sure that the lower PBC vent was set correctly (7/8 open). In the kitchen, it's a different story for many things because water boils at about 200 deg. F here ... so I often have to adjust cook times accordingly.

Swug Spent 20 years up in your part of the country. Believe it or not I do miss the winters🤣. Nothing wrong with BBQ from up that way either from my experience.

Welcome to the Pit from Dallas! I cook on a Big Green Egg and if winds gust on and off you will need some kind of wind shield at the intake or some type of electronic controller. I use a Smobot and before that a PartyQ.
