I smoked a brisket with all cherry recently and it did not do well. That is why I use typically hickory logs, and then mesquite chunks sprinkled in.
Different strokes. I always smoke with a cherry and pecan mix

I agree. It will probably be an unpopular opinion here, but I let my smoker run at the temp it’s most comfortable at. I gauge the “doneness” of my brisket on how smooth it probes. The probe should glide right in and out like soft butter. Not grabbing or catching on the probe.

Do people rave over your brisket?

are you running a dampener? I built the RD3 as well. Im about to build a 2nd one for my other pit.
I don't use it on what they are made for, I use it with a solid state relay to control an electric. I really need to move to a pellet. I still kick myself for buying this thing. It's not a bad smoker, it's just not a good pellet quality like a Yoder or something better that I should of bought. I hadn't really seen or tried too many pellets when I bought it though.

I agree but those are some massive swings. are your thermometers calibrated?
Yes. I have a instant probe thermometer, the two (one for ambient, one for the meat) on my DigiQ, and a separate dual-probe Maverick. All three have recently been checked using the boiling water method. Part of my spring smoking tuneup routine.

Are you measuring temp at the grate or just on the lid temp gauge?
DigiQ has a probe that clips to the grate. Also had my Maverick running just to validate it was working. Both probes were within 2 degrees of each other the entire time.

also why did you wrap at 170, thats about 20 degrees after the stall started?
Because the stall didn't start until 170. As I said, briskets are ornery critters.
