Having some trouble with my brisket!

[canuck70]

Hi Folks,

Looking for any advice you might have. I'm in the middle of cooking a 3.6lb brisket on my Broil King Keg. 

I'm 5 hours into it now and the internal temp is reading 70 degrees (have 2 probes, both reading within 1 degree of each other). It's been sitting at 70 degrees for about 3.5 hours. Seems a little early for the stall, no?

Temp on the Keg has been between 225 - 250F for the full 5 hours. Any insight as to what may be causing the internal temp of the brisket to be so low this far into it?

Thanks!

Never mind, I figured it out... I'm an idiot - apparently my new thermometer was set to celsius instead of fahrenheit. I was at the stall at 160 degrees F and didn't realize it. All good, I crutched it and finished it off within a couple of hours. It turned out great!

Glad to hear you figured it out!

Sounds like something I would do.

Glad it turned out good for you.

Oh man, I made the exact same mistake with chicken once. At least you got back on track. By the time I switched back to F the chicken was way overcooked.
