Ummmm first pics about 3 hours in, brisket is 137 internally and I haven't poked the pork yet   lol to see what its temp is

 

[whitepony99]

Brisket is at 149, still haven't probed my pork yet. Here is a pic of that bee that got me and yes he is still stuck in my shirt

My backyard oasis

Brisket went up to 150 then back to 149 and is still stuck there. Pork is 151 and slowly climbing

I really have a tough time smoking brisket just when I think I understand it, it goes and does this oh well patience will prevail

Good for you. I am stuck at +/- 145° for the last hour. Watching Tour De France and checking in every 10 minutes or so. At hour 7 right now.

It will be fine just DON'T raise the smoker temp. to get thru the stall.

 

[whitepony99]

I ended up having to increase smoker temp because I started losing temp i still am fighting to see what gauges are accruate on my smoker
