Today I cooked a small beef brisket it weighed 6.6# and I did not expect it to take very long. I dry brined it yesterday, today I injected it with beef broth added BBBR and put it on the Primo XL around 8:00 am. I used a pan underneath to hold water and catch the drippings with the heat deflector in place. Cooking temp was 225-250F with hickory wood, all went well until 11:45 I hit a stall at 160F and the stall lasted four hours, after that I turned temp up to 350F and cooked it though it came off at 6:20 pm. I am experiencing problems with this cooker that I never had with my old Akron egg?
The pork shoulder roast I did on Mon had two stalls, I did a whole chicken yesterday without any issues but that was at 350F. Here are my pictures. I guess there is a learning curve with every new smoker/grill. I also did a batch of bourbon baked beans today as well they were good.
