Okay, first cook: I put some ribs, raw bacon, and a big ole brisket on my new baby. I loaded up with some alder and pecan mixed pellets. I set that dude to smoke for 2 hours. I pulled my bacon and kicked it up to 225. I left the ribs on for another hour then wrapped them. I went two more hours and put the bbq sauces on them. I went one more hour and pulled them. They were phenomenal after a good 30 minute rest. The brisket went for around 8.5 hours total and hit 192. It was amazing! The bacon fried up remarkably well the next day. I love this thing! Buy it, buy it, buy it!!! I'm a pit boss overnight, lol!!!
