Good evening all,
I have my second brisket in the last 24 hours in the smoker now. I started it at 5:30 am and it has been stuck, only moving from 161 to 164 since about 4:00 pm. Smoker temp is around 190 most of the day. I know about the plateau but is it normal to last this long? My plan was to foil at 170 and pull at 200. I am concerned it will be dry as I have only opened the lid twice for a peek and have not mopped or sprayed since I started it. The first one I tried the Smokieokie method and was not realy impressed other than it only took 9 hours at 225. What do you all think?
This is rather important as I have 4 more to complete by Friday night.
