I had and used an 18" Weber Smoky Mountain for probably 10 years, and was happy with it - smoked a lot of meat on it. But I decided to go to a pellet smoker (Mak 1) for the ability set it and forget it. The Weber required some baby sitting that was getting exhausting - especially for the overnight smokes.
I learned about this site after searching for info on smoking brisket on a pellet smoker because I was not satisfied with my first and only attempt at a brisket on the Weber and wanted to learn tips and techniques from those more experienced. My wife has said in the past she didn't like brisket (not the one I did) because it was dry, and I've tasted my share of dry and tough brisket. So I understood.
So, that was my long hello!
