Started the day out nice ,cleaned and loaded the large egg and had a nice brisket ready to go on. Had the fire going nicely and steady at 225 put on the beef and it held steady for 2.5 hours, I left for work, came home early and the fire was out! The meat was till hot enough to be OK I stuffed it in a crock pot with some red wine and chiopolti BBq sauce and had it on high for 3 hours. It was good, flavor was great but that was the first time I lost a fire :( I think I see a Guru in my future. Julie

in my opinion, 225 is a bit too low, especially for an unattended cook.

briskets do just fine at 250 dome.

Couldn't agree more.....225° "dome" temp is around 200° grid temp, and always flirting with barely anything burning...I have always said, that once an egg is at 250° a match could keep it there...don't take much fuel to maintain...

HHMM in hind site I think so too. I was worried about over cooking, it tasted good and there was not much left so i guess everyone else thought so too, Still think I need a guru! LOL

Attended or no, I always cook brisket at 250* dome.
I can't imagine how long it would take to get a brisket to 195* when cooking at 200*!

Or get a Stoker and some extra temp probes.

You can monitor both dome and pit temps along with each and every peice of meat individually in the egg. . .
