Howard, welcome from Chattanooga. It goes without saying that the SI smokers are the best, but what I appreciate most is the advice in the forums. Everyone is very helpful. Read as much of the forum as you can. I like you had a Weber Genesis "smoker set-up" and the SI just kills it. I still can't get over the fact that I can just use 6oz of wood for a whole smoke, and not have to open up and tend to anything. Of course my wife is catching on that I don't really need to sit beside the smoker to monitor it the whole time (while having a beer or two or ...)
Checkout DivotMaker's brine recipe. I use it on both butts and brisket. Also, I've starting making my own rubs using some very simple recipes.
