Fri. nite at 5:30 I started a BOB w/ 2-6#butts over a 11.4# brisket (trimmed to about 10#)planning on an early lunch. Cooker temps were stable at 215-230 all evening. Went to bed at 10 and woke up at 3:30 and decided to check temps. Cooker was still 225, but brisket flat read 192. Poked through the point and it was like soft butter! I immediately pulled, wrapped, and put in cooler. Left butts on til 5:00. Brisket flat was still sliceable,but barely. Point easily pulled apart. It was succulent!
I was figuring on about maybe 15 hours! What happened? I had 2 thermometers in the cooker. One on top and one at top grill level, so I know my temps were accurate.
