I put a 15lb brisket on my Bradley smoker yesterday around 6pm. The smoker itself has a digital timer on it that will set for a maximum of 9 hours and 40 mins. When I went to bed at 1am I forgot to reset the timer and te smoker turned off shortly thereafter. I woke up around 5am and jumped out of bed realizing what I did and quickly restarted the smoker.
Onto the details. Prior to going to bed the brisket's internal temp was 156, and the smoker was 225F. I rubbed the brisket a night before and injected it prior to putting it into the smoker. The smoker was off for only a few hours, at which time it cooled down on its own without being opened. The internal temp of the brisket measured 119 when I restarted the smoker.
Will everything be fine? The brisket is up to 180F now and wrapped in foil, still cooking, but I want to be sure that it's perfectly safe.
