First brisket

[ptloqui]

Smoking my first brisket tonight for lunch tomorrow. When my brisket reached 140 degrees my thermometer broke finishing this brisket with a analog thermometer. From now on I will be keeping spare thermometers haha.

You don't need it. I just use mine as a guide anyway. It tells me when I'm in the ballpark. BluDawg preaches is it & he's right. When it probes like hot butter in the thickest part it's done. You'll be fine.

+1 to this. The only thermometer I use is the main chamber thermo. I try to keep that at a steady 350 until the probe test passes. Hopefully it turned out well for ya. We like pics here!

Brisket turned out just fine, tasted amazing and was wonderfully tender

Good job. I remember my first brisket. Looked & tasted like a smoldering hunk of space trash [SMILING FACE WITH OPEN MOUTH AND SMILING EYES]

Yeah, my first brisket carved up like medium-rare roast at a fancy Sunday brunch. Much better nowadays!

Nice job on the brisket.
The dog couldn't chew my first one.

Good looking first brisket. I think you're already ahead of the game!

Thank y'all for the support! Smoked 5 chickens the other day for family, turned out great!

Make that +2. I check temp just to see where it's at but for sure the probe test is the way to go. Using temp only will get you into trouble.

I cook to a temp of 195 internal, then periodically probe. Some are done at 195, others around 205. There always seems to be about a 10* variation for me.

If your pit temp is about 350 about how long will the brisket have to cook before it reaches an internal temp of 205

How big is your brisket? When do you foil?... these all factor in

I used to go by temp, but now I stick with the probe test. I do keep a temp alarm in there just so I know when it is getting close.
