I have a BGE that I have been using to smoke brisket. Everything I have read so far says about 1.5hrs per pound. So by math math, a 14Lb slab of meet should take about 21 Hrs at 225 Deg. (Or so I have read) I am going for an internal temp of 190 deg. I reach this temp in 9 HOURS.. It has really screwed me up because I set me grill, set up the alarm points on the dig. thermometer and go to bed. If my temp goes out of range, my alarm goes off and wakes me up. It usually never happens with the BGE since the temp control is awesome.
The Brisket is great but I have hod to hold it over in a cooler for up to six hours. Is 9 hours right? Should I lower the temp for a slower smoke? the end result is great but if I can get it better I would like to know how.
