Put on a 15lb packer at noon . 230-250 degrees, foiled around 8 at 170 IT. Just probed , the point is butter but the flat is not , sittting around 198 IT.....

When is the IT too high and its not gonna probe tender ? Ill leave it on as long as nec. But if I'm fighting a loosing battle ill say uncle . Ramped the UDS UP TO 300 when I foiled ....

Any advice ?

I've heard up to 210*. I've never let one go that far - too scared......

Probe the flat every hour until tender. You should be fine.

Did you add some moisture like apple juice or coke? That will speed up the process with some steam.

The probe don't lie a thermo will. Just probe the thickest spot on the Flat when it has no resistance it's done.

Yea Blu.... Just happens my probe is attached to a thermo haha.... Just probed it again and it seems to be loosening up a bit . IT is around 205.

Listen to bull and bludawg, it's done when it probes tender, not before.

12 hours.... 207 IT ..... Probed like butter !

Flat in the cooler , point chopped and back on the UDS , trying burnt ends for the first time , pron to follow after I sleep.

Thanks fellas

Glad things worked out well for you and you finally found it probed like butter.
