Selling whole brisket?

Hey y’all I’ve had a lot of people around me encouraging me to go into BBQ business. To dip my toes in the water I’d like to take orders and sell whole briskets for the holidays. How much would you sell a whole smoked choice grade brisket for? It’ll weigh roughly 7-8lb when finished.

Which Smokey mountain

I’m thinking about getting my first smoker and have seen a lot of wonderful talk about WSM. My question is, seeing as there are two sizes, will the small one be big enough for a normal sized brisket? Don’t get me wrong, won’t be starting with that, but eventually I’m going to make brisket, so just want to make sure I get the proper size.

Weber Smokey Mountain

Not sure of the thought's others have on this smoker but I really like it.

I used to use a cheap off set smoker. cost of the wood splits and the time maintaining it brought me to the weber smokey mountain seems much easier to use and maintains temps very good.

I do not see a lot of difference in the quality of what I have cooked including a couple of Briskets.

Aussie researching dream beginner BBQ setup looking to understand options

Hi team, looking for advice in my research. Recently moved into our first home, and with actual backyard can look at getting our BBQ setup going, but I am looking for advice to understand options on how to go about it.

Our needs will entail grilling (typical Aussie style feeding a cast of thousands quickly) and I have an interest in smoking/american style low and slow. Additionally knowing myself and my partner, We likely want at least the grilling side of things to be shorter setup timeframe and easy to clean so I lean towards gas/propain rather than charcoal, and I have similar feelings re: smoking - I like the concept of fussing over the bbq on an otherwise chill day, but recognise set and forget will get more use. Cost is an issue in the immediate timeframe (having just bought a house), but I'll be able to save for something decent in the not too distant future.

My current thoughts/options:

My friend has recommended his oaklahoma joe combo offset/gas bbq which We've used previously for brisket which went well, but I understand the issue with any combo bbq it will do neither of option well, and for the price could probably get 2 separate dedicated units of better quality.

Webber kettle though charcoal and thus more setup/fuss would let me do whatever I want, and comes with many optional extras, and for the higher effort than a gas grill would likely be the cheapest option to get everything I want.

Weber Q is pretty ubiquitious and well supported in Australia, would be good option for a dedicated gas grill and convenient for say taking camping as well for added flexibility. Could be a good option alongside a dedicated smoking unit, not sure if low and slow is feasable on webber Q.

For dedicated smokers, cheapest would likely be a WSM - I've seen them on sale / second hand for ~$310 for the 370mm / 14 inch unit which would likely satisfy my experimenting with smoking until I could get a dedicated unit but I've also seen is quite small and would limit what I can do / how many I could feed. Alternatively, weber kettle could also be an option. Pellet smoker would probably get the most use due to lower effort investment but comes with a higher startup cost.

Soliciting opinions and advice to help with my research and get the most bang for my buck. Cheers!

Smoker for Christmas

My dad had always wanted a smoker for his backyard. I want to buy him one for Christmas, I have about $300 to spend. He lives on the east coast so it’s usually too cold for him to cook for 3 months out of the year. I am looking for something that will last and I am completely lost looking for something good.

Any recommendations?

Edit: Thank you all for recommendations I appreciate it a lot, plus lots of choices for me to look at. To those who have suggested putting money towards one with him or a gift certificate, my answer is that it won’t work. My dad is very stubborn( like most dads) and he says he doesn’t need one and won’t buy it for himself. So thats why I want to be the one to do it.

I may just wait, save, and buy one for 4-5 hundred in a few months if it means a step up in quality. Thanks again yall.

Help choosing a smoker

From Australia for brand availability.

Wanting to get my partner a smoker for Christmas. I’m not too fussed on price and was checking out the Traeger 22 ($879 AUD) or the 575 ($1449 AUD) Would prefer wood chip.

His mum pointed out he’s never smoked before and should start with a cheap $79 AUD coal smoker instead (also traeger brand).

People who were brand new to smoking did you start with something small?

Is coal really inferior to wood chip?

Juicy Pig Barbeque in Denton, Tx.

Deviled Eggs: 8

Ranch Style Beans: 7-Beans were too Aldenté

Cranberry Slaw: 8.5-Definitley recommend!

Gumbo: 4-Pass

Habanero Sausage: 8.5-Spice level is medium high. Really good choice of protein. Recommend!

Brisket: 6.5-Had to settle cause they didn't have beef ribs on the day they are supposed too. Me and my wife were there first customers of the day and I'm sure they served us meat from yesterday. Had good amount of smoke. Wasn't dry nor juicy either.

Pork Ribs: 8-Good smoke and seasoning. Wasn't dry or juicy just like the brisket due to being a day old. Recommend!

Customer Service: 7.5-Person who took our order was cool but when I asked the guy who was prepping food for a box and container, he didn't respond.

Overall: The 3 protein plate cost $29.75. I thought it was fair for what they offered. Is it the best BBQ I've had? No. But if you're hungry and don't want to break the bank while visiting or vacationing, this spot will do.
