I am cooking my first-ever brisket in a vertical drum cooker. Small brisket, 3.8 lbs. Temp in the drum is 290 deg F. IT of the brisket was coming up nicely until about 152 deg F, then the rate of change slowed waaaay down.
What causes the stall? What should I do about it? If I'm patient, will the temp rise resume?
My plan was to go to 160, then wrap in foil (with sauce perhaps) and take it up to 200. Then pull it out and put it in a cooler for a while.
How am I doing? I love this new hobby... learning with every cook!
Thanks!
