First Brisket!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Capt Dan]

Sounds good. No need to run the smoker low either! 250-275 is a great temp for brisky's

[Fatback Joe]

140 after 3 hours this sound right????????????????????????/

I wouldn't be worried

[Dysartsmoker]

220 may have temp probe in the wrong spot going to check with instaread in a while

[Dysartsmoker]

at 6 am ready for the smoker




3 1/2 hors in at 153

[Richtee]

No worries, mate. :{)

[HawgHeaven]

You're doing fine, and it's lookin' real good so far!

[Dysartsmoker]

at 155 for the last hour or so is this normal?????????

[smokin aces]

if I remember what I have learned here that would be the stall. It is normal, and I think I remember reading here somewhere to slap it.

Sounds like a stall. Be patient and wait it out.

[SMOKE FREAK]

That thing could hold at 155 for a long time. And thats great. Lots of good things are happening inside the meat while it is stalled. Dont give in to the temtation to turn up the heat. Its doin just fine and will start gaining temp when "its" ready. Cant wait to see it done.

168 should I foil and at what temp??????????????????????

Now would be a good time to foil. Thats how I do it...

[sweet_magnolia]

Lots more experienced folks here than me, but yes, I would foil it now.

[Capt Dan]

Make sure ya put some liquids in the foil, like.................aj, thinned bbq sauce, worshy sauce, tiger sauce, beer, wine. ect. Lotsa possibilities.


Looks like ya got a great support staff here making sure you get good results!

:

Good point Dan but I have done brisket without adding liquid to the foil. It will still be OK, you'll just have less juices to work with in the end.
Mamma always likes to make gravy from the juices...
