Okay, You should be fine. You might want to cutback on the cooler rest to just one hour and as Chris suggested let the temp drop to 180 before wrapping.
I thought you said it was done??
Was it probe tender?
As far as pit temp, how do you your coals look? Do they look spent? If so, you need to add another lit chimmney...about half full should do it.
And make sure the temp drop wasn't due to taking the lid off. It takes time for the heat to recover after removing the lid.
i already added a chimney and a half. It didnt do anything after 20 mins.
Just added one more. Going now. Temp rising
Okay.
You coud open the intake vent to full open for faster temp increase then close it back down to maintain the 250 pit temp. If it spkies, no worries, Let the temp decrease on it's own.
idk what probe tender means.
vents are all open
The best way to describe probe tender is when you insert a bbq skewer, toothpick, or the probe on an instant read thermometer, it slides in with little resistance.
You will feel slight resistance from when you pierce the bark, but after that it should feel like going into a jar of peanut butter or a stick of butter at room temperature.
What is your chamber temp reading now?
got my lavatools javelin pro thermometer out. It went in easy after minimal resistance. Reads 174° but my inkbird says 189°.
223° pit
174° internal meat temp
Ran out of time. Pulled from smoker, double wrapped in foil, threw in oven at 250°.
Have to go to town early in the morning.
hope its done soon. Im ticked and starving.
Whatever you do, do not beat yourself up if the brisket does not turn out perfectly.
Lord knows we've all been there and we learn.
That is what makes us strive for betterment.
Post up some pics when/if you get the chance.
And at 172 degrees it is still in the stall. I've had 'em stall for 4 to 5 hours.
It is what it is.
holy hell. I need to eat and go to bed. :(
