Thanks, everybody, and Happy New Year!
Did my first brisket, I am sure happy I got the WiFi model, so nice to be able to see what’s going on from anywhere in my network.
There seems to be a delay between the box and the app of a few minutes — I set it to box 225 and meat temp of 190. Took 15:15 hours. At 189degrees, I got up, went to the kitchen, set up the cooler, got the foil ready. Started hearing this odd noise... app still said 189. Went outside, box was beeping and said “End”. I shut it down and took my goodies inside. App still showed 189. Kitchen (where I’d left the phone) is maybe 12 feet from box and maybe 20 from router. Box is about 6’ from router.
I need to work on my probe placement or flip it over — bottom 1/2” got over cooked dry and hard, the rest of the brisket is perfectly soft and moist, somewhere between slice and pull, depending on location. I had the fat side up...
Anyway, I am a very happy camper!
On a side note, it’s nice to see so much more activity in the forums this morning. It’s been pretty quiet around here for a while.
