Beef Brisket Internal Temp
Options

Posts: 178
I have had a brisket on the egg now for 14 hours. I wraped it in foil at 10 hours. Heres the question, the internal temp right now is 176 degrees and the egg temp is 227 degrees. Is it done or do I need a higher internal temp?
Thanks, Melvin

You can raise the dome temp to 250 but I don't pull mine till internal 200. You're in the plateau now. Relax and enjoy. Don't forget to let it rest in an ice chest.

Thanks man, that's exactly what I needed to know. That internal temp has been in the 170s for hours but I was afraid to raise the dome temp.San Angelo, texas

Just my opinion...Check it with a fork for tenderness. You might be done.
Wrap it in foil again, towels and cooler and let it rest. Internal temp will continue to clime for a bit longer. We like a 175 internal in the GOV household. So it doesn't dry out.

Melvin,
Do let us know how it turned out and with pictures if you can. -
Wow, just wandering around looking for optimal Internal Temp and I found a fellow League City guy!
I am cooking my first Brisket I have a post with some pics. Hope you are still subscribing here.
