The fat in the center of the picture still looks pretty white. I would have to say it’s not done yet. I to use a therma pen to probe with. So that shouldn’t be a problem if you have the feel down.

Pick it up, bounce it and feel it. That will tell you way more than the probe test.

they will wobble when touched, the flat and point kind of move independently. a done brisket will give in your hands and be droopy when held from the middle

Should it do that when straight from the pit or only after resting?
Also the post that said the thermapen is quite sharp so may give the illusion of tender seems right to me. I have heard of using a plastic chopstickto probe for tenderness. Does anyone know if this would work? Last edited by bbqpitsmoker; 09-22-2018 at 07:38 PM.. |

Any probe that is pointy will work. You just have to use the same one every time. They each have their own feel.

When your temp gets close, pick it up with a towel in the middle of the brisket like Franklin is doing at the start of this video when he's removing them. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lnRRDSYgdmw Then sorta shake a little bit to make the ends bounce. If your thought is "Oh s**t its going to fall apart".....its ready. If you wrap heavy in foil or too much paper, this wont work obviously. |

Worst case, you are going to have a great big batch of chili.

Every once in a while a brisket like that appears on my phone too. The only reasonable explanaition is Russian hackers, as best I can tell.

I had issues myself with brisket. I switched to cheap thermometer from sams club. The probe being duller helped me hit tenderness. Take your thermopen and the cheap dial thermometer from sams club. It will feel different.
All I am saying is try it if you have the issue the op is having. Thermopen is great for temping meat but if your probing brisket it makes it easier to know when its done using the duller probe. This is how I probe a brisket for doneness. It works for me. Honestly, you can learn the feel with thermopen but imo it slides in too easy and can be hard to tell proper doneness. A dull probe will let you notice the difference easier. |
