At midnight. I'm hoping it'll be done in about 15 hours. Locked in at 225 with some oak and cherry. I'm locked in with a bourbon to make sure the egg stays on track. Definitely not because it's quiet in the house and I just want to enjoy a bourbon.....

    Controller or manual. And is this your 1st L&S on the egg?

    I only asked because if going manual it's much easier to maintain 250℉ish. But, you have a controller so you should be golden. Look forward to "The Payoff". Enjoy the cook.

    So far the cook is going well. Temp isn't moving. I, however, have moved on from four roses to eagle rare. Very successful cook I'd say.

    How is the cook going? Everything locked in and on target?

    Bourbon worked perfectly. And so did the digi q. Woke up to 225 pit and 150 brisket. Progressing beautifully.

    I thought it hit the stall around 155, but now I'm sure it's in the stall at around 170. This is when I would normally start to get nervous, but the collective wisdom on this site has taught me well. Patience will be rewarded.....

    Turned out GREAT. 14 pounds un trimmed and probably 12 trimmed. Took a full 17+ hours to get to 195. Rested for two hours, separated the point, cubed and dusted with rub then put it back in the egg for another hour. Sliced the flat before serving. My friends and family ate WELL!
