I haven't looked at thirdeye's recipe for awhile, so don't know the exact cooking situation. The meat appears to be in the "plateau," or "stall." That is a period of evaporative cooling than many chunks of meat go thru. You could up the temperature a little to push it thru the plateau. Once it breaks about 185, the temperature should climb quickly to 195 - 205.

Every brisket stalls...cooking by time is just a guideline...best to just cook to temp.Love smoking chicken...but they are hard to keep lit ;-) http://daveyrayland.wordpress.com/ Small Egg / Weber OTG 22" / CharGriller Trio / Masterbuilt 30" Electric

Thanks for the advice. Didn't know a brisket stalls out like a butt. Took it off a 170 and let it rest an hour. Great flavor, but really tough. I put it back on and am going to pull it at 180. I don't mind the process, but my expectations were a little askew. There is no way "1hr/lbs" is applicable.

rules for brisket, butt, pastrami, etc, never wotk when you start with the equivilent of a steak tip kabob for size, they really only work fro certian sizes, i wouldnt cook that unless its atleast a 7 pound flat

It will still be tough at 180. Need to be up closer to 200.Columbia, SC --- LBGE 2011 -- MINI BGE 2013 -

Will do, but for future reference, what exactly does the wrapping in foil do.

Thanks again to everyone that helped me out. I took it off at 200. Great flavor and extreamly tender. I'll definitely plan on more of a cook time on my next attempt.

Not too sure. I would be afraid to mess up the crust.
