hi
i have one large brisket in my 150 going on 9 hours internal temp is holding @174 cooker is at 228 for the last hour plus- will it go up?
checked with an instant read therm as well- been a long day and hoping for good results

Yes it will mine will take as long a 18 hours just let it cook

Like boznad says,let 'er cook.

At that temp,large ,trimmed out, choice packers

take us about 70 mins/lb to finish in a 150.

You could crank it up to 250º-270º,if you are behind schedule.

Hope this helps a little.

cheers
guys
i am just a little tired- got 800 box lunches going out in the am and a baby that loves to scream at night- i will kick up the heat a bit

That should do it.

If you were really behind,you could foil it with a cup of beef stock,crank it to 275º+ and it will finish nicely @ 195ºinternal.

Let it set under a blanket,etc for an hour,or so, and you are good to go.

Sorry I was too busy with my sides and bbq sauce to finish the log

12.5 hours done.
briskets were 190
bottom butt was 205? 195 is better

Once the food is done I take out of the smoker and double wrap in foil and put it into an ice chest for a couple of hours.

Good luck : )

FYI my Smokette and Amerique both take about 16 hours.
SM150 in Brisket mode so far has been 12 to 12.5 hours.
Smoker 3/4 full or more seems to cook better.

i just cut some- i let it sit for an hour in foil and cut a piece
will give more results in the AM
thanks for the folks that helped
kk
i am very tired- 6 hours then back at it
