So my brisket flat (6 pounder) is going to be finished way too early. I kind of expected it to get done a little early, but we’re talking like 8 hours early. Any tips for how to keep it from drying out, etc...?
That certainly could be the issue. I have a meat probe that I bought specifically, but never really thought about the actual smoker temp. That's probably the issue.
I got a bone-in 9 pound Boston Butt. Put it in at 6:30 this morning cooking at 225. It got up to about 146 by 2:30 this afternoon. It is now nearly 10:30 and the meat is reading 159. I've gone through stalls before, but 13 degrees in 8 hours seems extreme. Should I just wait the darn thing out...
I'm smoking a pork tenderloin for a buddy. It's seven pounds but he split it in half, so 3 1/2 pounds each. How long does it take to smoke a pork tenderloin, and at what temperature? It's in a marinade that he uses quite frequently for grilling. I'll probably throw a dry rub on, and smoke with...
So I've got two cuts of Boston Butt. One is about five pounds, no bone. The other is about six pounds, bone in. I'm planning on putting the meat thermometer on the five pounder, and then moving it to the bone in cut. Is there any danger in doing this? Is there any way the bone in cut would get...

My brisket is nearly done, but I'm wondering the best way to store it. We're eating n about six hours, and my brisket is close to finished. Is there a good way to store it, so it doesn't lose any of it's flavor/tenderness?
Should I slice it after it rests, and then wrap it in foil? I'm not...
Thanks so much for the response. Do you have a specific dual probe that you find works well? I'd love to get one, there are a lot of options out there, and I'm not sure which would be the best option.
Thanks again. I plan to participate more, what a great community!
EDIT: Just wanted you all...
Hello all:
First time posting here, but I have been a lurker for a long time! So onto my dilemma (any help would be greatly appreciated).
Yesterday I fired up my electric smoker and put in a four pound bone-out boston butt. Set the temperature to 225 degrees, which seems to be the basic...
