You know your brisket should look like a meteor. ..mine came out just like that . Unfortunately it was as hard as one. 11 hours overnight but the 11 lb #@$% thing cooked too fast. 210 dome and ruined. I didn't use my maverick because I've gone through so many probes. The digiq did it's job. Miscalculation on my part. I planned on making beef jerky this weekend but now. ...oh well, beef short rib stew tonight...If I don't %\d $ that up.

How exactly is it ruined? I guess you already made the jerky?

124? That's way under done, sir. Unless I'm missing something.

You could try to chop it up and use it in chili or stew. It will rehydrate some, still adding flavor.Or give it to the dog.

Doesn't the digiq have a ramp-down feature? Also, how did the temp get 14 degrees higher than the (device-regulated)egg temp? I'm genuinely curious.

dang @henapple-11#'s cooked that fast (to that temp) at 210*f on the dome... Strange behaving hunk of beef.Louisville; Rolling smoke in the neighbourhood. # 38 for the win. Life is too short for light/lite beer! Seems I'm livin in a transitional period.

Travis said to send you this. He said even a traveling guy from TN couldn't screw it up:
Turbo Brisket (Travis)350 until 195, need pan with beer.10 lb app 6/7 hrthen in a cooler wrapped in towels for a hour or so.When you unwrap, foil is full of juice!!put a lot of wood chips and chunks to get as much smoke in before the meat hits 140, good smoke ring most of the time.Cut against the grain.Salado TX & 30A FL: Egg Family: 3 Large and a very well used Mini, added a Mini Max when they came out (I'm good for now). Plus a couple Pit Boss Pellet Smokers. -
Sorry to hear about that. Happens to the best of us."I've made a note never to piss you two off." - Stike

Damn Hen, I think Travis is being a little hard on you.

@Eggcelsior. ..it might but it wasn't set up. I checked the probe for accuracy last week and it was perfect. The last two I cooked were awesome. @Mickey, if Centex hears I turboed a brisket he'll defriend me. I'll have to look into the ramp feature.Green egg, dead animal and alcohol. The "Boro".. TN

Looked at those temps again-something isn't/wasn't reading right.

Sounds like someone really wanted brisket. I completly understand. I finished one on Christmas morning. It seemed a little too tender but what the hey. I wrapped it in foil and when I opened it it looked like pulled beef. I haven't a clue what happened but I wasn't happySouthern Indiana

Sorry to hear the brisket cooked too fast. I've never done a overnight in fear of that. The last couple I have kept the Egg at 275° and just started them in the morning.Yes the DigiQ has a ramp feature, here are the instructions 10.2 is the part that talks about the ramp feature. Basically you push the up & down arrows at the same time and cycle to the setting you want to change then press up or down till you change it to the setting you want. You can set the Alarm Deviation, Ramp, Beeper Intensity, Open Lid Detect, & °F or °CLarge & Small BGE, CGW Two-Tier Swing Rack for BOTH EGGS, Spider for the Wok, eggCARTen & and Cedar Pergola my Eggs call home in Edmond, OK.

Walk it off man. You'll be alright.Weren't you overdue to bomb a cook with so many recent stellar ones under your belt?#1 LBGE December 2012 • #2 SBGE February 2013 • #3 Mini May 2013A happy BGE family in Houston, TX.

You're really freaking me out, dude. I'm about to throw a 15 pounder on after not cooking one for a year.

Sucks....a bad cook always crosses my mind when I see a $30-$50 price tag on meat. We've all been there.Seattle, WA

On the bright side, salvaging a crummy brisket taught me how to make chili.
Gittin' there... -
Go ahead.....totally my fault. I figured 1 hr per lb but forgot the -10% rule. Get one going.biznork said:You're really freaking me out, dude. I'm about to throw a 15 pounder on after not cooking one for a year.
