Troy smoked 3 prime grade briskets from Lobel's and did an experiment where he cooked one in foil, one in paper, and one uncovered the entire time. At the end, he invited me and a bunch of other youtubers over to taste the results!
I was so excited and took some behind the scenes footage that I though you guys might enjoy. (if you want to see the results of the experiment, check out the link to Troy's video below)
If you are new here, first off, thanks for stopping by! Here is a link to one of my favorite videos I've done.

***note***I tried to Time stamp this part by questions and topic, but my recommendation if you are in the market for a thermometer is just watch this section end to end at least once. This section is loaded with information on this therm and you need to hear it all so watch from 23:16 to 33:40 at least one time. You’ll never get as much info in one place about this thermometer
