Fluctuating UDS temps for brisket

ClintHTX · Jul 13, 2013

Put a brisket on this morning and it was going fine. Left to go to the store and the fire went out. Temps have been rising and falling all morning. Will this affects outcome because it was a constant temp?

How long was the fire out?

Fluctuating temps is just par for the course to some extent. I think you will be fine.

Temps don't have to be constant but the fire going out could be a problem. How long was it out and what was the IT when you got back?

Not very long. Maybe an hour. I've been doing so darn good with briskets and this thing went to crap! I think I got a little over confident.

Just finish it off and eat it. Sounds like it was at a safe temp and didnt sit long so it should be fine. Strange that the fire went out in your uds, were you using brickets and get ash choked?
