Quick question for all who have been doing this much longer than me. I am currently at work, and I have a brisket at home. My wife ane brother are baby sitting this. It is a 10 lb brisket, and I am currently doing it on the WSM. I put this on at around 5:30 before coming to work, I have the digiq dialed in to keep it running at 220-225 and my brother is going to keep the smoker fully fueled with charcoal. HERE IS MY ISSUE, the brisket is now reading at 145 and has only been on the smoker for about 3 hours, and I am going to be able to get home to get to attend to any issues until 8:30 manana. Should I be worried about this or will this stall out for quite some time and be finished by the time I get home? I was also thinking about having the wife get up around 5;00 AM to check on this and call me with a status report.

Any help here, because form what I am thinking this whole brisket will be turned into burnt ends if it keeps this up.

Don't worry. You either have hit a fat pocket or it will stall soon. I have put them in at 8:00 pm, at midnight they are at 140 -150. When I wake up at 8:00am they are at 165 ish..

Sounds like a fat pocket they could reposition the probe for you

I had them reposition the meat and open a damper on the bottom. Temp has been running pretty steady the past 2 hours at 151-152 degrees. I think she will be ok, just havta make sure more coals are put on it before they go to bed. I HATE DOING THIS WHILE I HAVE TO WORK!!!!!!!!!!!!!
