We are having a luncheon friday and I have been recomended (told) to do the cooking. I am glad cause it means most folks at work like my smoke. So I am doing 2 5+lb bone in Butts and a Briskett that is just over 10lbs. I don't get home till about 6pm and I have to leave for work at 645am the next morning so I am a little concerned about time for my Brisket. I am rubbing them all the night before to have a 18+ hr dry rub. Would you guys look over my plans and point out any problems or give me tips to make sure I don't bring some unworthy bbq to my coworkers?
I will have the GOSM all set up and ready for when I get home and I am just planning on lighting the smoker and tossing the brisket in right away, at a temp of 200-225, which will hopefully be no later than 6pm (ordinarily I would take the chill off it but I am worried about time). About 8pm I was planning on tossing the butts in. I will be up adding smoke till around 11, maybe midnight. At that point I will go to bed and not add anymore chunks.
Question: Should I wrap the butts and/or brisket inn foil before I go to bed or will it just be fine since I would not be adding anymore smoke to it and just keep the temp 200-225?
I was planning on removing them just before I leave to work and wrapping them in heavy duty foil and put them in a big cooler and take to work. I am a lil concerned cause I won't be really be able to deal with temp (i.e. if it didn't make 185-190 temp for the brisket) but I don't have ability to go longer cause I have to take kids to school and get to work. I think I would be fine but I was looking to you guys to keep me in the right direction. You have never steered me wrong before. Thanks, I will try and take some pics for qview of the b4 and after and have them up sometime fri. Thanks
