Sometimes that first 100 * comes quick. I cooked a 14+ # brisket last night that hit 145 in less than two hours but the cook went 13 hours @225 . If it runs too high too fast you may need to move it.

Make sure the probe isn't hitting the bone.
Just Kidding.

That bone comment is pretty funny!
Is you probe inserted close to this
135 after on hour seems very aggressive, especially if you're only running 250 lid . . . unless your brisket is 1 lb. How large is your brisket? Have you tried moving your probe around? Have you calibrated your probe against boiling water?

It's all good. I woke up at 6, and the probe was reading 175. I wrapped and let it go another 2 hours -- maybe a tad too long. But I just had a nice smokey breakfast. Brisket and coffee. Mmmmm, good.
(The brisket was 16 lbs, pre-trimmed. I stuck the probe in a tomato from the fridge, and it registered 36*, so I figured it was working.)

Toss a piece of toast and I'm good to go in the morning...tri-tip and eggs is good, as-is skirt steak and eggs, or any steak for that matter...I guess I like eggs...*lol*
Last week I was chompin' on some brisket and eggs...that's to die for, more than 'tip for me.
I don't drink coffee, but I chase with a lot of ice tea...in fact, I don't drink beer either, so I enjoy ice tea while I use my 'ques...
