Extreme Hot & Fast in electric smoker

[leatherlips]

So I have an electric smoker and have smoked a fe briskets low and slow in the past. This time I have the desire to smoke a brisket extreme fast and hot. I have a 20lb brisket to smoke, and want to do it in one day by dinner time. Has anyone used an electric smoker for the initial cook to get some smoke, then finished fast/hot in an OVEN? Wondering if it will work as well as what I've seen in some posts here using a smoker for the whole process.

Trimmed out at 5 1/2 pounds . It's really flexible to start , so that's good . I mixed up an injection of...

Once it hits 180 or so I wrap it in foil and into the oven, no point burning pellets or charcoal etc. just to finish the cook in a smoker as it's wrapped in foil.
