Okay, you have a great start, looks good. Just your reminder, where are the finished pics? I like your stick burner. I have a old New Braunfels that I really like and get some good cooks with, especially when there are more than two to cook for.

about this time into the cook things were getting a bit fuzzy, as you may gather from the quality of the pic.

totally forgot the brisket, but lets just say this wasn't the best cook i've ever done.

i ultimately tried to go hot and fast to long, the brisket never hit a stall, and the ribs were a bit dry. rib flavor was decent, but not my best.

to this day i don't know what i was thinking with trying to go hot and fast.

here are the ribs.

The advantage of the Bradley is low and slow. Yes I will say it. WHAT WERE YOU THINKING

Been there, done that!

Now I set allarms to when things should be done, if not done then reset the allarms and go back to enjoyin myself. ;D

Everyone around here knows that when an allarm goes off its time to get back to the smoker. ;)

You might look at getting a Pitmaster IQ for that thing. It would help control the temps.

i've actually considered looking into one of those.

truth is i kind of purposely kept rolling the high temp. i knew i needed to cool it off, but as usual got a later start on building the fire than intended....

Squirt is right, a tempcontroler would be a big help. I have one on my old "New Braunfels" it works great. I have the Auber Instr. controler.

I made a plate to adapt the fan to fit the air vent, was real simple.

Here is the controler, I had the temp set for 240*, and then here is the finished product.
