I'm doing my 2nd ever briskit this weekend. The first time didn't have a thermometer to measure grill temp. I monitored temp from dial thermometer on top (Weber kettle) I have a dual probe digital thermometer now...my question, where is best place for probe on the grill..thinking brisket itself taking up most of the real estate on indirect side.
Cookers:
SnS Kettle with SnS Deluxe, SS & Cast iron pans, elevated grate.
Grilla OG with upper shelf and pizza stone.
Weber Genesis SA-E-330 LP INDIGO with SS Grates, Weber Crafted frame kit, baking stone, griddle (2/3), all from Ace Hardware.
Everything Else:
SnS #3 I was their first customer.
Sous Vide equipment.
Instant read and leave-in thermometers.
Grill Grates.
Kingsford Blue Bag, Weber lighter cubes, Weber charcoal chimneys.
BBQr's Delight Hickory & Apple flavor pellets, propane torch, 12" smoke tube.
Grilla apple & hickory pellets, Royal Oak charcoal pellets.
Rubs with salt: Meat Church, Meathead's.
Rubs without salt: SnS Grills Rocky's Rub and Not Just for Beef.
Rubs home-mixed: None at this time.
Spices: Lots of 'em.
I've been laying the probe over the top of the brisket, making sure that the tip (as mentioned above) is at least two inches away from the meat itself.
vwskirch, I agree with everything the "Brothers" have said so far! I just want to add that I often Ball Up some Aluminum Foil and insert the Probe through the Ball to achieve proper height above the Grill and Clearance from the Meat and Sides of the Smoker!
