New Smoker

[Rich]

Got my Bradley Smoker last Tuesday and smoked my first pork butt on Sunday afternoon. Used mesquite and keep the temp at or around 200 for the entire 4 hours. Put it in the oven for another 1 1/2 hours and it was terrific. What an unbelievable piece of equipment. Easiest smoker I have ever used!! Seasoned it all up on Saturday and worked like a charm.
We live in Okinawa, Japan so I don't think there are many Bradley's, if any, here. Will need all the help I can get from you nice folks, especially since I'm tackling a brisket next weekend.
Also can someone explain all of the acronyms you all use? I live with them being part of a military community but these are pretty foreign to me.
I look forward to any and all advise you all can give me.
Great smokin to all.

Welcome Rich!

Check out the recipe site. http://www.susanminor.org/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=180   Look for an FAQ post - there is an acronym section.  Also on that site there is a post in the beef section labeled - WTS brisket.  WTS (West Texas Smoker) is our brisket king :)

Welcome Rich,
Looks like Bradley is around the world now, except for the poles (mainly South since Canada and Alaska could be close enough to North).   :D

You must have had a fairly small butt to finish in 5-1/2 hours at 200.  Glad it was terrific for you.  Was is pulling apart or did you have to slice it?
