Put on a 5 lb single brisket( flat) 45 mins ago. Been at 260 degrees for only 45 mons and internal temp is already 110 degrees. Why so high so fast? I think probe is positioned properly. What do I do? Is this cooking way to quickly?

Might double-check your thermometers. If they are OK then it is just cooking as fast as it is cooking. They are all different.

A flat typically jumps out of the gate...it will start slowing down around 140ish. Then it will hit a good brick wall when it hits the stall around 160ish.
No worries bruh!Just a hack that makes some $hitty BBQ.... -
What was it when you put it in? room temperature? Also, are you cooking indirect?

+1 on checking your thermometer. Good LuckLarge, small, and a mini

Had the same thing happen with a brisket over the weekend.. was planning for a super long cook, but the temp jumped at the beginning and I got scared that it'd be done too quickly (a borderline "first world problem" when compared to the "oh no this is never going to be done in time" ;D).. alas, once it hit 150 the temp went into a crawl.. then the stall around 164 for a good hour.. and then a similar crawl up to temp..I went from worrying that I'd have to FTC for 7 hours to worrying that I wouldn't be able to FTC for more than an hourIt all worked out, of course.. I have to keep reminding myself that: 1. My friends are never on time, and 2. They're never ready to eat the main course as soon as they walk in the doorXL BGE - Baltimore, MD

Thanks, you guys are awesome. I seem to have stalled at 172.Ninety feet between bases is perhaps as close as man has ever come to perfection." -- Red Smith

Mine is at 192 and it's 4 hours to dinner. What temp should I pull it at and how long can I FTC ? Do you add any liquid when you FTC it? I have a drip pan full but it is mostly fatIn the bush just East of Cambridge,Ontario

I put mine in foil and liquid( the crutch) after the stall to felt it up to 205. I was worried it would dry out because it was just a flat. FTC in the foil and liquid for 2 hours. Will see how it turns out. Hope this technique works.Ninety feet between bases is perhaps as close as man has ever come to perfection." -- Red Smith

Brisket is finished when you can probe the thickest part of the flat -in and out with no resistance. This generally happens in the 190-205*F range. You may or may not be finished at 192*F. For FTC-you can easily hold for 4 hours as long as you get most of the dead air space out of the cooler. I don't add liquid to the FTC package but others do-matter of choice. And when ready to slice-cut against the grain and enjoy.Louisville; Rolling smoke in the neighbourhood. # 38 for the win. Life is too short for light/lite beer!
