Since we're doing the BBQ posts....
This is my teams turn in boxes for the Gilroy Garlic Festival KCBS competition. I love smoking, grilling, cooking, etc. I can tell you that was my last KCBS comp though. I prefer crowd voting rather then the strict judging by KCBS judges. We placed great, top 1/3 of the pack, beating out national teams, but its a lot of work. I'd rather cook for friends!!!

I’m more on the cold smoke side.
Wife got me a pizza oven a few years ago and I’ve been having a blast making pizza at home!

A good friend of mine has built-ins in both the houses he's owned so far. The current one in SD is rectangular, to match the modern architecture the house has.My dream:

My friend has a green egg. He absolutely loves it. We went with a Kalamazoo hybrid grill (gas burners 9” bellow trays where you can add wood or charcoal) and a Memphis Elite smoker. Both we absolutely love and would highly recommend.
I got pretty annoyed with our HOA taking forever to finish our front patio so we can move our grill (a very heavy Weber Spirit) back onto it, so I got impatient, found a $20 Weber on Craigslist, and finally got around to learning charcoal grilling.
First attempt was a 10 lb brisket I picked up from Los Gatos Meats. Dry brined overnight, rubbed down with a modified version of Meathead's Big Bad Beef Rub, and smoked between 225 and 270 for 9 hours. Finished (much) earlier than I thought, so I held at 170 wrapped in foil for ~3 hours in the oven and it came out soft as butter.

How about that car control clinic today? Those cones didn't know what hit them.

Had a blast learning how to control my car at the limits. As a bonus @H2OPlayar was there to instruct!

I the aluminum wrap at the 160 stall point is the key! I pull slightly before 203 and do a quick finish on the grill of both sides to crisp up the bark. Sooooo good!!! If you want to go truly overboard look up a Tusla Torpedo … anything that involves a full on bacon weave you know is going to be delicious!!!
Holy wow

Canon RAW. From my back yard in Angwin, CA.
I'm very interested in this! I fully plan on expanding my setup when we have a place with a little more room for sure.
I had an odd experience with this brisket where I don't believe there was a stall. I know that's something that can happen, and I've experienced it with a bunch of other briskets I've cooked (and I've split them roughly evenly between foil-wrapping and non), but this one was 10 lbs before trimming, roughly 8 lbs after trimming, and had an internal temp of 202 after 8.5 hours of cooking.
Even accounting for the higher heat of 270, that's a blazingly fast brisket, but it turned out phenomenally. Looking forward to getting to dial this in and try some ribs next. I'm gonna take a stab in the dark given your citing the 203 finish point that you either follow the pros or also enjoyed Meathead's book?
