Hi all. I put my brisket on at about 630am. It was from Costco and roughly 10 lbs. Temps been averaging about 235. It hit 165 in roughly 4 hours. I wrapped it with peach butcher paper. It's been wrapped for almost 1.5 hours now and is reading 194 temp. It didn't seem to stall. Is this ok/normal/common? I expected a stall after wrapping it for a few hours maybe. Should I turn down the temp? I'm not sure what I should do.

I actually just took it out. It's wrapped in butcher paper, so I put it in a foil pan (still wrapped) then placed in a cooler and put a couple towels on top of it. Hoping to eat at 4 or so. I guess I'll keep my fingers crossed that it turns out ok. It seemed prettytnederwhen I moved the probe around to different spots.
 
Total time was 6 hours. WAY less time than I had expected.

Why did you stop cooking? Did it feel tender?
 
So what was the end result?
Flavor was pretty good. I think it ended up being under cooked after all. The burnt ends were super good though. I finished them today.
