    Brisket question...

    Been on 4.5 hours and already up to 169. Still no stall. Using a traeger. Did smoke setting for 2 hours then been on 225 setting last 2.5 hours. I am getting nervous it won't stall. I did adjust the probe to make sure it wasn't giving wrong reading. Will it stall in the 170s?
