Im getting temps anywhere from 193 to 204 on my Brisket... The probe moves in and out easily in most parts for slab. Do i wait a little longer or is it ready to pull? Can i cook in too long? its only been around 10.5 hours

    @Chubbs 10.5 lbs.... used both an internal probe and an instant read. I was successful in keep the dome temp between 225 and never hotter than 250. 

    I let it go just a little longer and pulled when all reading were above 200. it is now FTC until this evening.

    Looks and smells awesome...ill just have to wait and see now.

    If its a thermapen, you should be fine to take it off.

    I'd wrap it in heavy foil, throw it into a cooler with a couple of towels until it's time to eat.  Mine was in the cooler for 5 hours on Superbowl Sunday and it was still too hot to touch while cutting it.  It can only get more tender.  Do it.  :)
    I love my egg.

    7# brisket. Started its journey at 10 am CST foiled at 180F (got distracted in the yard) pulled at 205F at 1430 CST. Have to admit it was a tad dry. SWMBO and guests thought it was great. I knew better. But the sides rocked. Southern style cabbage, baked beans on the egg and cornbread.

    One more time!!! The Brisket ROCKED... Slathered with yellow mustard, worcestershire and Brown sugar. Then rubbed with a Savory Pecan rub. Smoked @225 for 13 hrs until I had in internal temp of 205. Used Pecan and apple wood chucks for the smoke. FTC for around 8 hrs and here it is. Tender, Flavorful and Moist... Enjoyed with a bottle of Purple Cowboy Tenacious Red Wine. :-bd
