So I was doing a brisket today and being perhaps stingy with loading the pellet hopper. Had it up to 140s or so about 7-8 hours in maybe. Don’t recall what time.
I got a low temp warning so I rushed out and put more pellets in and checked if the fire was still going. Couldn’t see that it was so used a lighter to light the pellets and try to save the cook. Got smoke going and the grill was smoking again.
Went back to the garage and ignored my timer to go check on the grill. Then forgot about it until later and peeked out at it.
This is what I saw.
So I opened the lid and found this:
That was a 16.4 lb brisket on an EX6. It is literally half the size it was when it started. I've moved it to the oven to finish (which was always the plan).
I'm guessing that was pretty exciting for a while there.
