I'm hoping with a few posts under my belt, this goes up right away and isn't moderated.
I'm in the middle of a brisket. It's 4.75lbs, and I started it this morning just before 9am. I smoked it over mesquite and charcoal in my Chargriller until about 1:30pm. At that point, the temperature was at 158. We had a snowstorm starting and given that the bulk of the actual smoking was done, I decided to finish in the oven. I pulled it off and double wrapped in foil at 225.
It has now been stuck at 170 for about 2.5 hours.
I know these things stall, but is this long of a stall normal? What should I do?
