Has anyone here ever smoked a brisket? I have my own homemade clay pot smoker I've thus far only ever used for pork shoulder but was thinking of tackling brisket next.

No but I am gearing up for it this summer. How does the clay pot work? Sounds very interesting. Is it like an egg smoker? Pics?

It's a version of the Alton Brown clay pot smoker. He talks about it in an episode of Good Eats, but the show doesn't really give you enough information to build one. I used this Web site to fill in the details. Finding a hot plate you can take apart was the key:

Locating the actual clay pots was the hardest part. Very difficult to find ones of the right size and slope of side to fit the grill grates the right way.

I make my own rub and sauce. I smoke with a combination of apple and hickory and finish off the last few hours in a braise of apple cider vinegar, onions and a few other ingredients (I cook it until it gets to 185-190 degrees).

Here's a pic of my rig:

The blue tape seals the edge and prevents the chunks from smoking too fast, and helps the heating element not have to work as hard. The whole thing cost less than $150, including the groceries. A green egg on the other hand runs, what? $800? For that extra money it's easier to load more wood and the Egg monitors the temp for you. But hey, monitoring the temp is part of the fun. I basically spend all day outside drinking beer and fiddling with the controls to try and keep it as close to 225 as I can.

I have a dude that works with me that used to do competitive BBQ. I'm hoping that he'll teach me how once his kitchen is done being remodeled.

I fully agree that pork makes everything taste better!

The blue tape makes for a seal to prevent the chunks from smoking too fast, and for the heating element not to have to work as hard. The whole thing cost less than $150, including the groceries. A green egg on the other hand runs, what? $800? For that extra money it's easier to load more wood and it monitors the temp for you. But hey, monitoring the temp is part of the fun.

That is outstanding!
