Beef Brisket - Need Guidance

[myagentcam]

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.

Your fine. Just probe it in a couple of places to see if it’s getting close to done.

Leave your temp where it's at... it's gonna be done when it probes tender. Once it probes tender you can wrap in in foil and old towels and hold in a cooler for several hours

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.

Seems like a fast cook to me too.

Why did you stop cooking? Did it feel tender?

It did. Hopefully I'm right. Lol

So what was the end result?

I’ve had them finish in that 6-7 hour time frame, but I was rolling 275F.

10 pound brisket, so if that was before trimming, 6 hours sounds about right.

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.
