Also never trust your thermometer on a grill or smoker they are notoriously wrong always pop them out regularly and do a boil test then compensate. They set outside in all sorts elements and covered so condensation gets inside. Also what did you smoke in? I know a lot of people try to smoke on a weber kettle and have good results but brisket is another beast and gets a little to close to the coals have to indirect and watch temp like a hawk. Sometimes you just get an old cow I have got a bad cut and costco and Sams.

Oh and welcome back!


Dont submerge whole thing use tongs and dip sensor in.
Great tip, it is a cheap thermometer too. It's a knockoff thermapen.

Some of those are pretty good I have some I got some from sales at amazon. None are on the money even a thermopin

Out of the box, Thermapens are on the money. They can also be calibrated if they go out of calibration.

Every one I've owned has been nails out of the box. I've had three traditional Thermapens, one Chef Alarm, and one Dot.

Guess I got a bad one. It's not really a big deal but I have learned over the years with high precision survey equipment everything needs to be calibrated.
Out of the box means zeroed at the elevation of Sea level. Boiling points if I remember differ by altitude.

That's true. I'm close to sea level (and always have been), so maybe that's why I've never had an issue.

I have both of these, and they do a great job. The good news is that the top one has all but confirmed that the smoker thermometer I installed is pretty-much right on. I wish the lower one was faster in reading the temp, but I'm not complaining.

I just got one of those air temp probes for my Chef Alarm. Good stuff.

Bob Dole gets the pleasure of attending a brisket cook-off tomorrow with 7 teams. Looking forward to see what they come up with.
