Looking good. The combining of art and black magic. The ultimate brisket. Many years ago my dad built this smoker pit. The fire box is on the left, the heat and smoke funnels off into the pit area in the middle under the hood where it has to flow down to near the bottom to an opening where it can then flow up out the chimney. My nephews and my son have now taken up the torch and kept the tradition going turning out some awesome stuff when the clan gathers at the old homestead. They have added some digital probes and temperature gauges to keep a close eye on the process. We have plenty of post oak and mesquite growing on the property to the fire stoked.
