Hey everybody,I'm new here so please bare with me.
Cooked my forth brisket(about 8#) on my mes40 today, same problem each time.
These eight pounders are getting up 190 i.t. in about 5 to 51/2 hours. I thought it
was supposed to take alot longer. I'm using three thermometers..the one on the
mes, maverick 732 and a hanging oven job. The 732 and the oven job read the same
as mes,+ or - one or two degrees. My wife loves the brisket but it's driving me crazy.
I cook to 160 then foil to 190 (for slicing) they taste pretty good but I think they could be more
tender. What is the max temp you would take it to?
Sorry.....smoker is cooking at 225-230 and two of the thermometers have been tested in
boiling water about 212, and retested oven thermometer in oven it's dead on.
Temps appear to be correct and everything else I have smoked has been great.
Thanks, Don
