I've read a ton of threads and the opinion spread is wide on multiple variables. I had one go lightning fast one time due to more than likely touching the probe. I've got a 15# prime packer from Costco and I don't want a repeat of that, but second shelf from the top would nearly block it entirely from the heat source, potentially affecting a correct reading, and that seems to be the preferred spot.
What rack do I use in the 2D? I'm afraid the second from the top will shield the internal box probe and cause it to cook to high. is this a legit concern?
Going to go very minimal fat trim
S+P with a touch of garlic powder and ground coffee.
Prime cut so no injection or Brine
225 for hopefully 14-18 hours more than likely due to brisket being trimmed from 15 to 13-14lbs.
Start the box cold with cold meat at 7PM Saturday for a pull late Sunday morning to mid afternoon at the latest (14-18 HOURS). I like a 2+ hour FTC rest minimum.
Do I sound like I'm head in the right direction? I will include pics for others to learn from my process if this does in fact work out. Any guidance is GREATLY appreciated.
