Hello,
I purchased my first WSM 18.5 two weeks ago and I decided to go all out and get a DigiQ DX2 while I was at it. Last week I did my first cook, an 8 lb brisket. I set the DigiQ DX2 at 225 and it took 14 hours to get the internal temperature of the brisket to 193. It was the best tasting brisket I have ever had! Now this weekend I am wanting to do (two) 8 lb briskets, one on the top grate and the other on the lower grate. I am making these briskets for my family and they are supposed to be ready by Sunday at 2 p.m. I am planning on setting the temperature at 225 again. My question is, will I be looking at another 14 hour smoke or will the time dramatically increase since there is twice the meat inside the WSM. I would like to see at what time to set the two briskets. Please help!
Thanks,
Mauro
