Brisket probe placement

[jbeck1986]

So I know lots of folks say put the probe in the thickest part of the flat. Is this the exposed flat? Or under the point? The part under the flat should read a lower temp I would think.

Thanks

I put it right below where the point meets the flat on the top side of the brisket. Which is pretty much the thickest part of the flat without going into the point.

same .... plus all the probe is really doing is letting me know when I'm in the stall and when the flat is above 190

Ditto. I use Spinaker 's placement method.

agreed

Right. I'm noticing that the once you can stop relying on just getting it up to a certain temp and you start paying more attention to how tender it is you get better results. I still want a accurate reference point for the stall and when it's up to 190. Plus my Igrill 2 has some pretty cool graphs for the temps that let me see how things are progressing. Also lets me get a better idea of how long to expect future cooks to take.
