Man, this sucker almost got away from me! Made a pellet check at the 8 hour mark(2 hours after wrapping), and thought what the hell, may as well poke it with a Thermapen since I'm here. Much to my surprise, it slipped in unopposed, and registered 205! So, it's foiled up, wrapped in towels, and in the cooler until it's dinner time. Can't believe it cooked that quickly. It wasn't a big brisket, about 12#(and I probably trimmed a good 2# of fat off it), but thought it would be a 10 hour cook, minimum. You never know! A photo of the hopper when I shut it down. Probably burned a good 15# of pellets in 8 hours. It got up to -6F when the cook ended. Definitely started eating pellets, when I cranked it up to 250. Will update after dinner!
