Probe vs. Cook Time

Former Member

So, I got the probe with my FEC-100.

I set it to probe cook mode, put the probe in the thickest part of the brisket, set it to 224 cook and 180 on the probe (as per the rub instructions.)

Here's the question, after 3 hours the prob is at 140 degrees. Given the current cooking curve my probe should hit 180 in 5-6 total hours. This is about half the time I have been told to cook a brisket.

Should I ignore the probe? If so, what good is it? Or, if the probe reaches 180 in 5-6 hours do I ignore the comments about cooking for 12 hours?

Thanks!
