cliff wrap the brisket in foil when it “stalls” usually 150° - 160°
It’s called a “Texas Crutch”Departing Contestant , THX DC, will try that next time, maybe a smaller Brisket also, would help, not sure, it would “Stall” too but not for as long.

Not only did I get my “Toe Wet” I got both feet wet, lmao…what a job,
I already had the German Sausage in the freezer, I have given a lot of the Summer sausage away, the 70% to 30% worked out great, I used Chuck and Boston Butt,
I used the Large Casings helped with less blow outs.(jmo), from now on I will do one type at a time,only problem was with the Summer sausage casings “Wrinkle”
THX for the advice, it worked , one question, “Brisket Stall”
I tried to cook a 19 pounder on Labor Day, it stalled for 4 hours finally had to take it off smoker everyone was ready to head for (Taco Bell) Cliffcliff Great job. You have given me inspiration

cliff Great job. You have given me inspiration
DougSmokes THX DS, not so fast with the “Inspiration”
my first mistake was to make 25 pounds of Summer Sausage, it didn’t take long for me to realize that is a lot of sausage,then I decided to make 5 lb, batches, (good choice) just in case I messed up,
Boston Butts are on sale around here now $1.00 a pound the Chuck was $2.89 still have a Boston Butt left over , by the time you get 17.5 pounds of Chuck and 7.5 pounds of meat ground ,my “Inspiration” was beginning to (Fade)
These guys here are not afraid to share their Expert Advice ,if you follow it you will have a great end product (jmo) I got in a hurry with the Summer Sausage and got it to hot and the casing Wrinkled that’s my fault,I know what I did wrong,still taste great . Good Luck DS, -
Hello fellow carnivores! Doug checking in from Western Colorado. I have been smoking and bbq’ing for 20 years or so and still feel like a novice sometimes. I don’t do competitions, but don’t get many complaints at home:) I have a SmokeHollw Gas grill/charcoal smoker combo and a Smokey Mountain wood smoker. I mainly do brisket, butt’s & fish, but I’m getting more and more into sausages and Jerky. Read a few messages here and really like the feel and attitude of the board and it’s members.
DougSmokes Hello Doug,just noticed you are from the West Slope, I lived in Norwood for about 20 years, I use to take my Deer and Elk up to Grand Junction to “Old World Meats” don’t know if they are still in business, Taylor Park was my favorite fishing hole, have to shake the ice off your sleeping bag in July

Checking in from Lake St. Louis, MO

From Whitefish Bay, WI. Former Restaurant Chef and Culinary instructor who has worked in NYC, Chicago, and Milwaukee. I work for Gilbert’s Craft Sausages, a growing brand, specializing in chicken sausage. Our co-packer is in Denmark WI. I have been involved managing the Culinary and Marketing events program for several years and have recently been asked to focus on developing new sausage flavor profiles in association with the co-packer. I changed careers at age 30, packed up my belongings and headed to the CIA for an education. My friend and mentor at that time was Chef Brian Polcyn, a Detroit area Restaurateur (https://chefbrianpolcyn.com/about) and author of 3 books, with Michael Ruhlman, on charcuterie. I’m now ready to stop talking about sausage making and start doing. I just purchased the 7# Walton’s stuffer and look forward to learning the craft sans the Kitchen Aid mixer. My hope is to win the November Giveaway , a Weston #32 Meat Grinder, and return the Kitchen Aid to the baking shelf for good. I’m excited to have found waltonsinc.com and look forward to membership at Meatgistics. I don’t yet own a smoker but I just bought my first ever gas grill. I have had weber kettles since the 70’s.
