I must say, the first attempt came out pretty good. I have to get online and post the pictures in a new posting.
That said, I did a 6 1/2 lb brisket on the top and a 8 lb picnic cut pork shoulder on the 2nd rack. It was my first attempt at the brisket, but I used what everyone posted plus the virtual bullet site to monitor it. My employees loved it and keep asking for more. The pork shoulder was a loss. My seasoning was a new one that did not have a lot of flavor like I am used to with the TBE. (It was free seasoning, had to try it). The cut was not as tender - probably because I got tired when the brisket finished and I short cut the pork. Anyway, new post to be done with the pictures sometime this week!
