So I have a a brisket on my BGE right now. It's been smoking for only 4.5 hours. I'm using my DigiQ to regulate the temp.
I made a small mistake when I got started. The temp quickly rose to 275 when I set the brisket on. It took me a good 30-45 minutes to drop the temp back to my desired temp of 250.
I left the pit alone as I usually do for 4 hours. The DigiQ only shows a selected temp at a time. I had been watching "pit" temp, NOT "food" temp. I now checked the "food" temp. 168*!!!!!!!
Whoa, that's hot after only 4.5 hours. And way past my usual stall temp.
Anybody had similar issues in the past? What were the results? Any idea as to why this happened?
