    Smoking a brisket with temperature swings..??

    ok, long story short.. i have a GMG daniel boone and cannot for the life of me get it to hold temp.. set at 250, it swings from 235 to 255 within 10 minutes (back and forth) according to my thermo works smoke thermometer.. is it possible to cook a good brisket with those swings?
