New temp experience

[Oak Smoke]

I’ve been smoking two corned beef points and a flat for pastrami today. As the points neared 170F they stalled as I expected they would. The flat hit 170F and over the next 30 minutes actually cooled 5 degrees. I’ve never had one evaporating enough moisture to cool its self down. After about another 30 minutes it started gaining temp again. That’s a new one to me.

Yes that’s happened to me a fee times. Always kind of weird.

ditto, on brisket temp, not corned beef. But I think I will give it a try. Love corned beef and cabbage cooked in the juice on the stove.

First time that happened to me I went out to the Weber to see if the fire was ok.

Ditto.
Maybe there is where the saying "if you're looking you're not cooking" comes from LOL

That happened on the second brisket I ever cooked. Talk about freaking out. I was calling everyone I knew and a few folks I didn’t know.

It is one thing to read and watch videos about the stall and another to live through it for the first few times.
