I am pretty excited about it. Been looking for a while and this one popped up less than a mile from me. Garage kept and hardly used. The guy won a BGE and wanted that instead because he didn't have enough garage space for both.
I found a Gen 2 Performer for sale locally. It's the Crate & Barrel edition.(Pea Green) Excellent shape, has the gourmet cooking grate. I gave $140 for it. How'd I do?
I did not probe the meat. I am new at this so help me get a better understanding. If the brisket was at 200, it's not autmatically done? Would another hourmnot cause the temp to go up even more? Sorry if these are goofy questions. Just want to make sure I learn from each smoke.
1st brisket is in the books.
Cooked it to 160 then wrapped it in foil.
Took off when internal temp hit 201 degrees
Let it sit in foil wrapped in a towel for an hour
Had a really good bark.
It was nice and moist but also chewy. Any idea why? Did the fat not render long enough? I cooked it at 250
Any pointers or tips on doing the point? I' going to smoke at 250 till I reach an internal temp of 160, then wrap it in foil till around 200 degrees. Sound right so far?
