Hi all. New on here and looking for some advice. I recently upgraded to a pellet smoker. Pitt boss 820. First brisket came out great and much faster than I'm accustomed to. I just pulled off my second brisket, a 16 lb brisket that was done in 6 hours with the Pittboss set at 250. I'm absolutely terrified.

I put it on at midnight expecting to wake up at 6, wrap in butcher paper and go back to bed. Well I probed it with two different probes and got temps as high as 212.

Wtf happened here? I'm used to 1 hour per pound plus some extra. I have company coming over at 2pm and it's 730am. I have the brisket wrapped in Butcher paper and then 5 beach towels and have it sitting the orca cooler hoping it will stay warm until it's time to eat. Will it?

check the calibration of your cooker vs a wired thermometer......I like to wad a ball of foil or use a potato and put the probe through so the tip s exposed to get an accurate temp.
