    Sorry about the confusion. The diameter of the tank is 24 inches. I drew up a quick sketch to try and get my point across. I apologise about it, I'm rushing and the paper is all I have in arms reach because I'm trying to respond to this before I go to sleep. Hope this helps.

    Need help, first brisket!

    Been checking every half an hour or so with a toothpick. A couple spots are starting to get pretty tender but a few are still tough. Temp is 200 even after 13 hours. More pics next time I probe

    Need help, first brisket!

    So I just hit 190 where my probe is, should I start probe testing now? It's only been in just over 10 hours. Does that seem to short a time?
