Orion Cooker II – Smoked Brisket

A while back I told you about the Orion Cooker. I thought it sounded amazing, but I didn’t know just how amazing it really was. After receiving my Orion Cooker I have cooked two 6-pound chickens in 90 minutes. I did three racks of pork ribs in 90 minutes and then last weekend I cooked a 5-pound brisket in just 3-hours! Usually you have to cook or smoke a brisket for at least an hour per pound if not more. This brisket was tender, flavorful and simply amazing. Next on my Orion schedule – pork butt and a large turkey. Stay tuned!
