Mmmm....bbq.
Today: Cooked up a pork loin, 2 butts, 2 briskets, one boneless turkey breast, and a couple pounds of brats.
#1 = the butts, trimmed and rubbed
#2 = the briskets, trimmed and rubbed
#3 = the smoker
#4 = almost up to temp, around 7:30am
#5, #6 = more smoker pix
#7 = need to stoke the fire
#8 = Top to bottom: Butt, loin, boneless turkey breast
#9 = the butts, after about 8 hours. They got some honey and brown sugar tossed on them, then wrapped in foil and put back on for another 2 hours.

Wow, nice rig. I'm feeling a little jealous.
That's a nice smoker. One word of warning is don't trust those thermometers. I recognize those as the same model that's on mine and while it was never particularly accurate it has progressively gotten worse (now it's like 100 DEGREES off). While I don't use the control feature of it anymore, I use the temperature probe of my Stoker controller to watch the cook (and it has the advantage that I can check it remotely as it is IP enabled).

The thermometers are consistent with each other. Don't know how accurate, though. Over the years I've calibrated my hand and use it to verify the heat.
The really nice thing about that smoker is the rotisserie action. No hot spots from front to back, left to right is a different story and requires some attention. The bad thing about the rotisserie is it prevents you from using a temperature probe in the meat while you cook. And, when we use it at contests, there's always the potential for power loss. The parks generally kill power if there is lightning in the area or it rains too hard. Dragging a generator around for insurance is a pain.
