    I just tried the brisket, and it was excellent. I think I would have liked it a little more juicy, but it was much better than many BBQ restaurants that I have been to. It did come apart really good too, but I thing I lost juice using the probe.   I am very impressed with myself right now, and...

    At 11:45 tonight the ITs were 103, 104, 106 and 106 again. The probe just slid through the brisket. I have it wrapped in a towel in an ice chest, and I plan on staying up to try it. I will let yall know how it turns out. I appreciate all of the input.

    The temp probe sure is sliding in pretty easy, but this is my first one, and I don't really have a feel for it. When I get all the way through the brisket to the bottom, it feels a little tough like it is a different texture right where the fat layer is. Is that normal?

    OK so every place I probed was 172 IT or better. I wrapped in foil and put it back on. I did notice in a few areas that the probe slid in really easy. Maybe that is a good sign?   I will pull it when all the IT temp readings are at 205. I have an ice chest waiting on it.  Thanks

    I put a 8 pound brisket on my new master built smoker at 4:45p. I have the temp set at 225. The outside temp is 50   at 7:30 I noticed I was at 168 IT in the point area where I had the probe placed. I used the probe in a few other places and the lowest I could find was 165. It was 189 in the...

    Hello from Texas

    Hello,   I appreciate being able to join this forum. I just got a new Master Forge electric smoker for Christmas from my wonderful wife. We just moved from the Country back to Dallas, and I live in a condo complex that only allows electric grills/smokers.   I am new to this, but I am sure I...
