First cook on new smoker

May 20, 2017, 01:08 PM

I am testing out my new Primo xl oval on a choice cut brisket (flat) from Costco. I have a friend who just butchered his hog and he sold me half, almost 200 lbs of pork in my freezer. So I just had to go buy a new smoker, no, my wife did not understand it, the old one, I just did not like much, it was a barrel on its side. I am following meatheads recipe for Texas brisket,(dry brined 12 hours) with his big bad beef rub, yum. I started early this morning and it just hit 150 and so I wrapped it in foil to get past the "stall". Thanks to all here for being helpful and the great information given. I am excited to smoke the 21 lbs of bacon I cured following other recipes I found here. Anyway I hope everyone is grilling or smoking on this beautiful Saturday. Have a great day all.

Should be a good cook. Please post pictures! We've got storms keeping me away from my grill. Wish they'd come on work days instead of days off!

Started Low-N-Slow BBQ in 2012. Obviously, it's taken hold (in chronological order:
1.) A pair of Weber Smokey Mountain 22.5's
2.) #LilTex, a 22" Expensive Offset Smoker (looks like a Yoder Witicha)
3.) #WhoDat1, a HUGE Gravity Fed Insulated Cabinet Smoker (cooking chamber 3'x2'x6')
4.) A Full Size Commercial Dryer/converted to Vertical Smoker.
5.) Jambo Backyard stickburner (my FAVORITE Pit so far)
6.) GrillMeister, a huge 24"x48" Adjustable, Charcoal Grill from Pitmaker.com
7.) 22" Weber Kettle with Slow-N-Sear
8.) Vault insulated reverse-flow cabinet smoker from Pitmaker
9.) BarbecueFiretruck...under development
10.) 26 foot BBQ Vending Trailer equipped with HUGE Myron Mixon 72xc smoker is HERE, Oct 2016!
11.) Opened www.PaulsRibShackBarbecue.com Food Trailer officially in March 2017
12.) Austin Smoke Works 500 Gallon Propane Tank Offset Smoker, named "Lucille" as travel pit for PaulsRibShack, Oct 2018.
12.) Opening Brick & Mortar location at 4800 Nelson Rd, Spring 2019. Had a pair of 1,000 Gallon Austin Smoke Works pits, both in RibShackRed for our new place!

Fabulous Backlit Thermapens, several Maverick Remote Thermometers (don't use any remotes anymore), Thermoworks Smoke, Other Thermoworks toys, Vacuum sealer, lots and lots of equipment...

I'm loving using BBQ to make friends and build connections.
I have #theRibList where I keep a list of new and old friends and whenever I'm cooking, I make 1 to 20 extra and share the joy.
