The brisket was a small CAB (Certified Angus Beef) Brisket from Weis somewhere around 9 pounds.

I used Chef's Select 100% hardwood charcoal briquettes, leaving enough room in the basket for a split of hickory wood.

I used a couple fire starter matches to light the charcoal.

We wrapped the ribs in plastic wrap for a rest in my empty ice chest until we were ready to eat. I kept the brisket and butts wrapped in foil until dinnertime. Everything went into the cooler to rest until it was time to eat.

The ribs were a bit overcooked to my liking. Not my best ever, yet delicious!

I still have a lot to learn for perfecting my brisket. It was okay but certainly nothing amazing. I always have trouble with the flat drying out before the point is ready, but my guests seemed to enjoy it.

Good eating!
The first pork butt we pulled for dinner was great but part of it was less tender than I wanted it. The next one was in the chest for an extra hour or so and by the time I took it out to cool for leftovers, it was perfectly tender and juicy.

The Meadow Creek BX25 Box Smoker is perfect for backyard use with enough room to feed a small crowd. It is efficient, easy to run, and has a compact footprint. You can even smoke with or without water to suit your cooking style.
Pellet smokers are quite popular right now, and have always been more convenient than charcoal smokers, but the BX25 and BX50 smokers are possibly the easiest way to crank out award-winning barbecue while maintaining the rich tradition of cooking with hardwood charcoal and wood.
Usually I find that a smaller brisket is drier because it has less fat content in the actual meat, so I will inject them ( with the grain) with a beef broth to infuse that moisture that it needs. Then I massage it and let it rest to help it hold that moisture from the broth, maybe for an hour before I put my rub on it. I usually then let it rest longer to re absorb the au jus .
I also use less salt in my rub with smaller briskets to keep them from drying out; and when I trim the fat, I tend to leave some thin strip on the thinner area of the meat for a natural basting scoring it for the rub to be infused.
Finding that sweet spot of a smoker takes time and trial, but aint that the fun of smoking in the first place?
