Well there is a guy named Larry with team BLQ that would somewhat agree with you. He only uses temp. to determine where he is at on his timeline. He says it is feel and SMELL of the meat...Not sure I will ever get good enough to know by smell.

I worked with an old pitmaster back in the 60's that just used feel, smell and looks. He never missed as far as I know and I still think he made the best Q that I've ever had the honor to eat. I'm still not good enough to do that either. Will probably never be.

I had to check the doneness of maybe 11 briskets at a time on a spinning rack cuz my Meat mama pit didn't have a stop pedal of the rotisserie.

I used an old sharpening tool that a certain someone in Lockhart, texas gave me. It was maybe 50 years old and not as thick as a new one. But If that past through with no problems you had Mecca Style Brisket. I lost it in Friedrich pit, I owned at one time. I was sad because the pitmaster that gave it to me is now dead.

Dull the end of those Ice Picks though... grind them flat.
I haven't finished this whole thread. Would something like this work?

Default Hooray for the OLD SCHOOL :)-

I've been preaching Old School for a long time, and I've been good at getting my meat done right since before probes and fancy therms. I do use analog pit therms for internal pit temp(front,middle and end), but as for doneness I rely on my eyes and the FEEL of the product, be it Brisket,Ribs, Butt or anything else.Pull the bone on BUTTS, lift the Ribs to see bend, and feel your meat to check tenderness. Homer Page of Temple,Texas taught me this long ago as I watched him at his BBQ Joint off 57th St.
Now if you add in the factor of pre-burning,well you reach Nervana with a sweet savory taste No bagged crap or chips, just sticks of a good wood(my sticks are of 3" or better splits) Oh, and the bark makes NO difference, the wood has it's flavor. By mixing woods one can adjust the intensity of that flavor from strong(like Mesquite), to mild (like Alder or Maple).Here in Ohio, I like the Maple-Oak-Apple mix. It's readily available and around here is rather cheap,lots of BIG trees being cut and sold uncut for a song, if you can haul it.
Belive me,I am OLD SCHOOL and my circle never complains

Yeah But Todd and Vickie now do a cold smoke and finish it in ovens. That's a cheesy short cut that Homer would not endorse.

Your right on the "feel"

You sound like me... a lot of lessons get learned when you have to keep an eye on more than 8 briskets. I remember my first big smoke doing this at the old Kreuz market. I stared at three comparable briskets that we all put on at 4:30 in the morning or so... one was ready at 10:30 (yes I said 10:30) another at 11:40 or so and another at 2. That's what I was doing in summer 1985.

If you want consistency in product the probe needs to be thrown away or used for feel.
