Hey all. I'm going to long cook a brisket in an offset smoker and have a newbie question. I've heard rule of thumb is to cook 1-1.5 hours per pound of brisket at 250 degrees.
Is 250 degrees supposed to be the ambient temperature in the smoker or the internal temperature of the beef?
I'm going to mod my smoker to put in a 3in temperature gauge but am unsure if the gauge should be sticking into the brisket or just above it outside of the meat.
