Hi from the 216! Cleveland Ohio

[apowell]

Hi all,

New here. Had a cheap new braunfels for a few years - now have a GMG pellet. Still figuring things out. Don't use it all the time . Maybe once a month. Doing three packer cuts at once tonight for a party tomorrow. Seems to be cooking too fast.... I just figured with three 14 lb briskets at once it might go a bit slower. Am at 160 in 3.5 hours. Was planning to foil at 3am but may be doing that now. Party is at 4 pm. Debating whether to turn temp down to 200 to slow things down or just proceed and then hold it longer. Reheating if it gets below 140

  Good morning and welcome to the forum from another hot and humid day here in East Texas, and the best site on the web.   Lots of great people with tons of information on just about everything.

Those briskitts will be great i dunno about goin 140.... i do 225 and foil at 175 until meat i2 200+. Briskitt needs to rest, dont worry about serving it as soon as its done.

It alll worked out. Held them all for 8 hours (one for twelve). They ended up as essentially pulled brisket - just falling apart. But tasted great and everyone loved them.
