Traeger Errored Out

Hello, I am fairly new here and am attempting to smoke a brisket on a Traeger.

I put a 14lb brisket on last night on the smoke setting for two hours, then upped the temp to 225 for about 8 hours. I checked the IT and it was at 163. About an hour later I woke up and my Traeger error out and shut off. My IT was at 151 but the Traeger was fairly cool. Based on a post from Chef Jimmy, this seems like it should be fine but he mentioned that injecting the meat changes things. I had injected it with beef broth. Do you think it’s ok to finish the cook at eat?

Thank you for helping so many newbies like me out

You are safe to proceed as your IT was higher than 140. Below that is the danger zone. Post up some pics when you finish!

Thank you. I am always nervous feeding other people food if I think it could be bad.

I have a follow up question. Will I have to go through the stall phase again? Currently the IT is 153 but isn’t rising yet.

Trying to determine if I should bump up the temp to 250 or leave it at 225. I have about 6 to 7 hours until I wanted to pull it and let it rest. I have myself 20 hours total to be safe but this has delayed me a bit.

Yes it will stall again. You barely made it to stall temp before the unit shut down. 225 is fine. But if you want it finished a little faster I'd go with 250. All depends on how much time you have until mealtime
