So, my mom tasted my brisket one day, and has asked me to smoke one for Easter. I of course said yes, I'd be happy to. Here's the dilemma though. They do not have a smoker.
Somehow, I need to smoke the brisket here at my house, transport it an hour and a half to their house, and finish it off in the oven the next day (is what I'm thinking).
So, my tentative plan is, smoke it here until it reaches 145 degrees the day before, wrap it in foil, and take it to my moms house the night before Easter. Then the next morning, wake up early and finish it off in the oven, to have it done by 3pm (which is when they want to eat). One thing I have no clue about, is what to do with the brisket as it sits overnight waiting until early the next morning when I put it in the oven?
Can anyone who has done something like this, please please help me? The plan I have just seems like it has too many flaws that I am not seeing.
Only other option I see, is to smoke it all night, and just bring it to my moms Easter day, but they want us there the night before.
Also, I like bark on my brisket, and I know that by finishing it off in the oven, will take that nice crisp bark away,
I need ideas from the men on this site.
