not to beat a dead horse but should i probe top to bottom of the brisket or go into the side of the brisket or does it make a difference. i've been going into the side of the flat(parallel with the brisket as it lays on the rack) and that is when i catch resistance the further i push it in. the probe might go through top to bottom with more ease if i were to do it that way. just want to learn the right way from the experts.
