    Does altitude affect "stall" time?

    Thanks all for the great suggestions! (Running around necked didn't really work but it has kept the neighbors from peeking over the fence when the smoker is going!) I have done 2 briskets (packers) since my original post and both have come out perfect. I cook at 225 then wrap the meat at...

    Does altitude affect "stall" time?

    It was a flat and it was over trimmed in my opinion. I did verify the probes against 2 others. I was just trying to follow instructions that said to be patient when/if a stall occurs and didn't pay attention to what my common sense was saying about inadvertently turning the whole mess into...

    Does altitude affect "stall" time?

    Thanks for the response! Yeah, I not only checked against 2 other probes but did an ice bath calibration check. As I said in the post, I think waiting for 3.5 hours at 198 just ended up drying it beyond all hope. I think I'll try another and whe it gets to 198 I'll pull it of and see how it...

    Does altitude affect "stall" time?

    Hi all, I'm new at smoking meat and have run into an issue. I have a GMG pellet smoker that seems to do a good job but twice now I have run into the dreaded "stall" issue. Once with pork shoulders and most recently with a brisket. In both cases the meat reached just shy of 200f and then...
