That makes sense, it does seem like a cool feature, but I will test it out just with something simple first.

How could this be possible, 6.65lbs and not even 4 hours at temp?

Also, do you guys use ramp mode on the digiq dx2? Supposedly when the meat gets 30 degrees from done, it will slowly lower the temp of the grill to slightly above the internal meat set point so it will not overcook. Should I enable this? Or is it pretty safe to say that this thing will take every bit of the afternoon to finish? Again it has been on since 7:30, and it was about 8 When the grill got up to temp. I am going to leave the house for a few hours and dont want to worry. Also is 195 a good temp to pull it off the grill and let it rest in FTC?
You have 4-5 hours before you need to worry about checking on iti pull mine closer to 200 but if the probe slides in and out like butter, it's done. Start checking around 190 and pull it when it's butter softKeepin' It Weird in The ATX FBTX -
Ohh, ok cen-tex I read it wrong. I thought you meant if it wasnt the stall, im close to being done! lol, you meant im close to the stall. Got it. Ok I am going to meet a buddy for lunch at our favorite watering hole, and should be home around 2ish. I imagine the butt will be just fine and will not overcook on me...

You got it.You have plenty of time and the watering hole just assures that everything will go smoothly. If you'll be home by 2, you'll have a few hours cushion. Go have fun with your buddyKeepin' It Weird in The ATX FBTX -

Is it a good idea to turn this thing over at all or leave it the way it is?

If the bear claws fail-two forks are a great audible.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.

internal is at 196 right now... wait till 200? then let it rest or what?

Use a skewer or temp probe. It should just slide in like you were dipping it in oil.
any resistance anywhere and its not done.
FTC just to hold till serving.Bx - > NJ ->TX!!!All to get cheaper brisket! -
i wouldnt... i would let it go til 200... i am sure you wont have to pull it that instant and whatever time it rests inbetween that- that is fine

i have a bbq guru digiq in there that is dead center and says 197 now.....thermapen confirms this and its a little lower in a few areas.
