I dont even know what to type right now!
I also was surprised when I went to the store and actually saw one too, they are monsters. You should get an 18 too, they pack right up in the trunk of the car no problem. I had to put a couple pieces of the 22 in the back seat when I bought it.
Oh and we have a ton of mulberry here, I bet I actually missed the harvest on the berries, I wanna make a mulberry sauce too

Fired up the WSM the other night for a 20lb brisket 
Everybody who ate this says it was the best one Ive ever made, by far. Not sure if it was my absolute best, but Id definitely put it in my top 3, without a doubt
The burnt ends were OFF. THE. FREAKIN. HOOK.
Doing another one next weekend
Cheers!
Ooooh... I almost forgot! I made a few Fireball soaked smoked pineapples a couple weeks ago too
Smoked at 275* for about 4.5 hours, over chunks of cherry and apple wood

NICE! Love me some burnt ends. There's a guy in NC who makes the best I've had.
What do you think of Malcom's TX Brisket Rub? I haven't tried it yet.
How about that B&B? What kinda burn rate did you get out of it? Big Moe Cason swears by it. Of course they're one of his biggest sponsors lol.
EDIT: Nevermind about the B&B. Just read your charcoal thread lol.

Its absolutely amazing, Rick. Ive recently been steering myself toward the Dalmatian style rubs for brisket lately, and Malcoms is the best Ive tried yet. Let me put it this way: before Id even finished my (firstDownRiver said:
) plate the other day, I put 3 more shakers in my Amazon cart Hot and clean, bud, with very little ash at the end. Easily my favorite charcoal, by a mile. For this particular cook (full charcoal basket in the 22.5 WSM), I got almost 15 hours of burn time out of it, running it around 260-275*DownRiver said:
18 pounder, for a family picnic the other day.
This one cooked QUICKLY! Only took about 9.5 hours at 275*. Usually, a brisket this size would take me 14-15 hours at that temp. Briskets are like fingerprints, lol. Every single one is different
I didn*t get a chance to get a pic of the burnt ends

Those of you who have followed this thread for a while know just how happy I was when I finished building my shed earlier this Spring...
(cut to about 2 months ago) Then, Tropical Storm *Isais* tore up the entire East coast of the country, wrecking a ton of shit in its path. My neighborhood had trees coming down left and right, like there was no tomorrow. Not gonna lie, it was pretty tough to keep calm and not look nervous in front of my kids. The sound of 2 foot diameter oak trees snapping in half like toothpicks and crashing to the ground making houses and windows shake was enough to make anybody*s hair on the back of their neck stand up...
Although I am complaining a little bit, I definitely understand that many other people got hit MUCH harder than I did, and my family and I are extremely grateful that we made it through the storm, relatively unscathed, and were very happy that everybody we know is/was safe.
Later reports indicated that *Isais* had the strength equivalent to *Superstorm Sandy* from a few years ago. During *Isais*, we lost power for about 5 or 6 days, and one of the loudest *crashes* that I heard was right in my own backyard...
You*ve gotta be fucking kidding me...
(from my bedroom window)
Oak tree, probably about 24 inches in diameter at the base
Snapped the 2x8 ridge in half
Couple of OSHA planks landed right on the trailer smoker
Thank God it*s made of 1/4 inch rolled steel! It*s a tank!
Only things that were damaged were the temp gauge and the exhaust damper. Could have been a LOT worse!
Got the tree cleaned up, had to rip the entire roof off the shed (even the rafters), and got it all put back together:
I finally got around to splitting all the logs yesterday, and if there*s a silver lining in any of this, it*s that I*ll have a shitload of oak splits for next year, lol
(some maple too, from a tree that came down in my neighbor*s yard )
My back is freakin killing me
