What was your IT temp?

 

[AK shooter]

It was about 275 couple of times. I had to run some errands so I added some coals before I would leave so it would not go out. Probably added too much.

I start checking mine for tenderness when the internal temperature of the meat hits 185°. Sometimes it needs to be as high as 205° to be tender, but anything over that tends to dry it out. Also, I've noted that cooking brisket at about 260° versus as low as 225° tends to get the internal temp where it needs to b a bit faster making for a better textured bark and a much moister brisket.

Black's BBQ in lockhart, Tx, which might be the brisket capital of the world, smokes at 225 for about 18 hrs. Literally top 5 things I've ever eaten.

He meant internal temp of the meat. Only real way to tell when your meat is ready.
