My brisket flat turned into a stubborn brick for 14 hours straight
I was trying a new rub with extra coffee grounds for a cookout in Memphis, but the internal temp just would not budge past 165 degrees no matter what I did. After messing with the fire, wrapping it in three different ways, and nearly giving up, I finally realized my thermometer probe was faulty and the meat was actually done hours earlier. Has anyone else had a piece of gear fail so badly it ruined your whole cook timeline?

A buddies' brisket took 16 hours once because his oven thermostat was off by 40 degrees. @charlie_roberts87 I swear these gear failures always happen at the WORST possible time too, like right before a big cookout. It's kind of like how my phone charger always breaks the day before a road trip or the washing machine dies right after you've done all the laundry. We put so much trust in these things working perfectly every time and they let us down exactly when we need them most. Makes you wonder if the universe has a sense of humor about it all.
