I have done a fair amount of reading up on serving/transporting brisket. Looking for some feedback on my plan...and questions answered. Sorry if this post ends up redundant!

I have a 6.6 lb point end brisket. Dinner is Saturday night at the campsite. Leaving for camping Friday after work. I don't have the option of smoking over night Thursday into Friday due to presence of bears where I live. 

Plan is: Wednesday Rub and refrigerate

Thurday: smoke all day (I will have from 7am to 10pm, should be lots of time) 

Saturday: reheat

My options for reheating are to souvide (sliced vs whole?), will require bringing suitable container to reheat in. OR reheat on bbq whole. My concern with this is the length of time vs propane usage! 

Thoughts? concerns? other suggestions?

Thanks!
 
If you are going to vacuum-seal it and then sous vide (how do you plan to do that?), keeping it intact will result in a moister product, but slicing it will distribute the flavors from the outside to all the cut surfaces for a tastier product. Your call!

I have a vacuum sealer, and I would water bath cook it. I guess not really sous vide! I tend to choose moist a little over flavour. I have only done one brisket before and found it a bit dry (more experienced with my smoker now though). 

I had asked for a whole brisket, but it is labelled point and only 6.6lbs so I am assuming this is correct. I hope so anyway as I will be disappointed if it is a flat. will pull out of packaging once thawed.
