Brisket Temp probe location?
update, temp, was crawling up on the thin end, and after about 45 minutes shot to 195. I was suspicous of my digital thermo so used and old school probe and got the same readings. 5 hours sure seems fast for a 9 lb brisket? the crust was kinda mushy so I'm firming it up before putting it in the... -
Brisket Temp probe location?
Ok, this is around my 5-6th brisket. I've always out it in the thickest part of the flat, right in the middle. This is also the fatty part and it seems the temp goes up faster than in the dense meat near the thin part of the flat. Here's my problem, this morning I put the brisket on @ 9a.m... -
First smoke ever.
Looks like a great start on your first smoke! I have to plug Dutch's wicked beans....On your next smoke you HAVE to try them. I've been smoking for about a year now and just tried the wicked beans on my last smoke a couple of weeks back. The beans were almost better than the brisket! -

Brisket Time?
You know actually I should send a pic of a slice.. The smoke ring is darker and did not penetrate as far into the brisket. Any Idea why? I think this may be a result of foiling too soon. Needless to say my thermo issue caused too much drama today. Thankfully the end result was still tasty... -
Brisket Time?
**UPDATE** I pulled it from the cooler and it was awesome!! I started the day at 5 am, took a couple of pics and wanted to start a thread... That being said I really concentrated on keeping a nice thin smoke with a concentrated small fire. It was a challenge too say the least. Then my temp probe... -

Brisket Time?
Yeah, I'm a total neebie....I pulled the thermo, reinserted it into a more lean meat area and got a 183 reading... I had it in the thick/fatty end at first thinking the thickest part would be the way to go.. I suspect the amount of fat in that area has fooled me..Now I'm second guessing if I... -
Brisket Time?
Ok, this is my 4th or 5th Brisket....It's around 11lbs. using the 1-1.5 per lb. It should take 12 hours or so. Its been 7 hours and 15 minutes and its already at 200.....I wraped it at 170 and was going to pull it out at 190 BUT I want it to be fully cooked. So leave it on or pull and wrap? BTW... -
