So I was recruited by the youth pastor at my church to smoke a couple briskets for a Super Bowl party today. Told him no problem I’ve done a ton of briskets before and people generally like them. However I think I have a problem.
I put the briskets on my smoker at 1am central. I let them ride until about 8 am central when it seemed they had hit the stall. Brisket 1 IT was 174.9 and brisket 2 was around 165, smoker temp running between 240-270. They did have to sit outside on a table for a bit but not long at all.
When I got briskets back situated I re-inserted the probes and now brisket 1 was reading like 144-151. I tried probing several different spots, the highest I could find was 158 but flat was closer to like 145-146. This is the first time I’ve had this issue. I didn’t deviate from how I normally do them so I don’t understand the drop. Unless I originally had the probe in fat maybe? Anyways do y’all think it’s ok to eat being I injected it and it took that long?
