    Brisket question

    When I do briskets I plan for 1 hour per pound plus 2 hours at 235.  I always foil at 165.  I pull the brisket at 195-197 and  into an empty ice chest for at least an hour and 2 or 3 are better.  Be sure you keep an eye on your temps both smoker and meat and you'll be fine.  Wrapping will help...

    pork roast

     I think you'll find cooking to internal temp the best way especially for butts.  I always foil mine at 165 IT, pulling at 203-205 resting in an empty ice chest for at least one hour 2 or 3 is better.

    Both probes on Maverick ET-73 are 4+ degrees off

    195-197 is for slicing, if pulling take it to 203-205.  You can, as David says use the toothpick to test for tenderness.  I haven't found that necessary using the temps I use.  It is always possible I'll run into one that is not ready at my temps but haven't yet.

    New Rec Tec

    They will do everything possible to make sure you are satisfied.  I am surprised your Maverick is that far off.  I have a maverick and it is only off about 4 degrees. Richard

    Both probes on Maverick ET-73 are 4+ degrees off

    I use my thermopen when checking the internal temps of my meats.  It is accurate, I always take my briskets to 195-197 before pulling and into an empty ice chest for at least one hour and 3 hours is better.  I should also say I always foil my briskets at 165.  I believe that foiling, shortens...

    "Hi my name is Eats, and I failed"

    Sounds to me like something up with the temps.  I pull my butts at 203-205 and rest an hour or two before pulling.  The only time I had a tough butt was when my meat thermometer was off by 15 degrees causing me to pull way too soon.  Richard
