The big smoker I have my brother inlaw and his brothers build it back in the mid 80s. My sister and I would put 5 briskets on it at 1 time. She would let them cook 15 to 18 hrs at 225°. We never trimmed any of those briskets. Seasoned them up and put them on the smoker. I don't remember ever wrapping any of them either. She took them off let them sit around an hour then started slicing and making chopped brisket. She made a killing selling them in a sandwich or over baked tators. She did this every month for a trades day that they went to.
Not at all. I loved this offset and it is the reason I moved up to a 500 gallon from Shirley. My only regret of getting it is that it caused me to want a larger one. LOL They are known for reverse flow but they can do it all. The 500 draws like no other!
@@mannyr8795 I bought this one used. I’ve had 10 Shirley’s. No regrets on any of them. They do have a waitlist but I think it is good to make sure you get what you want. When your name gets called you are like a kid on Christmas. I’d go for it!

Bro, I am dying of envy! A good envy, I should say! Great video! Thank you for sharing!
LOOKS GREAT
Any regrets on this offset. I thought Shirley was more known for their reverse flow and not traditional but this pit looks legit

Did you have to wait 3 years for the pit? I’ve heard some horror stories from Shirley referring their lead time

Hey, do you have the measurements on the pipe and firebox for that smoker ? Is the tank 20 inch ?
@@kristianhaugolsen239 no, I don’t. I ended up selling this one to fund my 500 gallon!
all that space left on racks i wouldve put some chicken on there too. dnt let a good smoke go to waste
You got that right! Could’ve been eating for days.
Ain't no way thats 150
How many racks of ribs can u fit
I would say 25- 30 laying them down normally. Double that if using rib racks.
