Need some reassurance on this brisket : I started my smoke at 6 Pm on a 9lb brisket point and a 9 lbs picnic pork shoulder. Smoker set at 225 with Amazen pellet maze for 4+ hours burning from both ends.
The pork was injected with Long Island tea and liberally coated with a table blend of mrs dash when I got up at 4 am the pork was 174 so no worries.
The brisket however worries me I found it at 144* at 4 am, went into the smoker with 35* IT, no injection, but bathed in Long Island ice tea in a aluminum pan and Cavendish Greek Seasoning. The high for yesterday was 38* and it’s 30* right now.
Foiled both pans at 4 Am after adding one can of cherry coke each. Raised temp to 240*.
Should I be worried about the brisket?
