I have myself a bit of a problem. My brisket is 12 pounds and should take 18 hours at 225. Internal temp is at 188 12 hours. Do I trust the thermometer or leave it in for the 18 hours?

Go by temp not by time...... did you pan and foil at 160 with juices...... I take em to 196 then foil and wrap in a towel for an hr

Ok will do. I followed my friends method so no I did not rap at all durring the smoking but planned to do it for an hour when I take it out. And that should be very soon lol. Thanks for the help and I will post some pics of the finished product.
 
Well the temp problem was due to a bad thermometer. Had me better half pick up a new one on the way home and I swapped it out and it took all of 18 hours like planned. The end result was very good and the kids loved it!!! We have some great leftovers and I will be smoking another soon.

Here is a pic of what was left before I shreaded it.

 
My temp problem was due to a bad thermometer. My better half picked up a new one on the way home and everything was back to normal. Took 18 hours like planned to reach 195. Everyone loved it and we have plenty great tasting leftovers. I will be taking them to work for lunch and doing some bragging lol. We will be doing another soon and may try a different recipe.
