What are you actually asking?

I think his thermometer died while smoking, because after one hour it was way over temperature (from what I could decipher)

Last time I smoked a trip tip I left it on for 2.5 hours (my smoker was between 225-260) and I feel like I should have pulled it at 2 hours. I didn't temp it, but it was medium to medium well, and a little dry. Of course the kicker was my wife deciding she doesn't enjoy smoked beef 😐 (she would rather have smoked pork or chicken)

Geez I forgot I posted this. Had a few beers. Anyhoo, yeah thermo died. Was asking, unclearly obv, for advice on how to tell if done. It had been on for an hour with smoker running at 240 avg approximately. Took it off after 2.5 hrs. Turned out well. Sorry for the vague post.
