I"m a confirmed Weber man. Worn out many a grill of theirs.



The first smoker I ever bought was a cheapie end-of-season Home Depot special. Ruined a pasture full of brisket being unable to control the fire.



Bought the 22" WSM. Did the gaskets and steel door/latch mods. And a Maverick wireless thermometer.



I swear. It's like rolling a Yahtzee every time all the time.



No desire to enter competitions, but I got a personal blue ribbon from Bob Dole. He said it was the best brisket he ever had.



No fair harshing my mellow by telling me he says that to all the girls.



If they come out with a smoker that will tell me EXACTLY how long the stall will be of the brisket once I place it on the cooking grate, I will have found the replacement of my WSM.



But the parting, I can assure you, will be extremely emotional. I can't stand to see a grown Dinny cry.

I tell you what, I love my Masterbuilt electric with the cold smoker attachment. Did the best brisket ever over the weekend. No muss, no fuss.

This one is double walled and therefore holds temp better than Traeger, Rec Tec, Pit Boss. I don't have it but I will soon.

I buy 40 lbs. For about $35. At smoke temps, I think it runs around 1/2 lb. pellets/hour.

Brickseek inventory checker is a bit frustrating but you do see when the prices closeout. That on walmart, Target, Home Depot and Lowes and how they track inventory though along with employees that will hide the close out product untill it rock bottom price and purchase.

When Franklin's BBQ become famous, I tried his just salt and pepper rub.

I'm using a electric smoker, so its not an apples to apples comparison. But, I'm no rookie. I've been smoking meat for 30+ years. Results were okay. So, I tried it again following some prep guidelines he posted online. Didn't really improve the taste.

Matter of fact, the over the counter rub from Costco "Butt Rub" that I gave a shot was better than just salt and pepper. Still like my own rub though.

Coarse kosher salt

Paprika

Garlic powder

Cayenne

That’s all you need. It’s more flavorful than that boring ass Dalmatian Rub
