Third Brisket in the 3D
« on: September 27, 2020, 06:07:18 PM »
Choice Brisket 17.43 lbs. (9-26-20)
Rub:  12 hours prior to cooking

Decreased Wattage to 80% (960 Watts) to prevent full-blast heat to the wood..
First smoke observed at 148F Thermostat and 186F Probe#3

Manual Ramp Temperature Experiment to prevent wood ignition and nasty thick smoke: 
o   170F for 1 hour
o   180F for 45 min
o   190F for 30 min
o   200F for 30 min
o   210F for the rest of the cook
o   It took ~15-17 minutes to increase temperature by 10 degrees

Note:  Reached 210F at 3 hours 10 minutes.  Wood was still smoking at 3+ hours.  No nasty thick yellow/white smoke.  No smoker burp.

Total Time Cooked: 17.25 Hours unwrapped the entire cook
Food Internal Temperature: 203F and probe tender
Time rested: Wrapped in foil and rested 3 hours
Total Cook Time start to finish = 20.25 hours

Wood Type: Air dried pecan, hickory, white oak
Amount of Wood: 8.82 oz. = 250 grams
5 Wood Chunks in foil boats with tops open
71 gram Pecan            (front)
61 gram Hickory    (middle)
118 gram Oak       (middle and back)
Wood was 100% "char" - No white ash.

Taste:  Awesome.  Can finally taste some good clean smoke flavor.  No acrid taste

I will program all steps for the next cook.
