any concerns with smoking a brisket to long?
I agree 100% with JIRodriguez - get it up to 200-205 deg then put it in foil and toss in a cooler with lots of rags or towels. I've had them still hot 7 hours later. It may be me, but I think the meat continues to get more tender the longer you foil - I've even started to do it for Boston Butts.- airs

Matt - Did you do the brisket this weekend - How did it turn-out? -
Beef Brisket / Smoker Size
I kept the water pan filled the entire time (only think I had to add water once). I applied sauce for the marinade and that was it - no mopping at all. The bark was excellent, but it was not as hard as some would like - that was from putting it in the foil - not the water pan. -

Matt - Welcome aboard - lots, make that tons of advice on this forum - some very "seasoned" smokers on here. I'm far from an expert, but I got some great advice on here when I did my brisket. In addition to the "gameplan" I listed earlier in this post - I would say the main pointers I would... -

Beef Brisket / Smoker Size
Thanks to some great advice from TurnandBurn, the 10 lb Beef Brisket turned out fantastic! For anyone interested, here was the gameplan: Injected the brisket with a butter/Jeff's Rub mixture 48hrs prior to cooking. Marinated the brisket in a Jack Daniels type sauce for 24 hours. Used a... -

Beef Brisket / Smoker Size
Ok, for the record - just took it off the smoker (12 1/2 hrs) and it is resting comfortably in a towel lined cooler (or heater in this case!) Going to let it relax for 6 hours and then dig in for an early dinner. I'll post the results later as to it's final tenderness and juicyness. Thanks... -

Another question - Meat Temp this morning has just hit 200 degrees - it's a 10lb beef brisket that I put on at 8:30 last night - that is only 12 hours - well short of the 15+ I was calculating (1.5 hrs/lb). I foiled it at 170 degrees. Is it possible this thing is really done? I'm 98% sure I... -

Thanks for the info guys - I think I'll either cut a small piece off or bow it over. I just have a hard time cutting that baby in two - I'm sure it would cook a little quicker, but I'd be afraid of losing more juices. -

Dutch - It's a Brinkman Red Bullet (electric). I could cut the Packer in half, but thought that might take some of the "fun" out of it or impact the final product. I was thinking that "bowing" the packer up in the middle would buy me a couple of inches until it shrunk down a little. Guess I... -

Quick question - Getting ready to smoke my first Beef Brisket tonight - Got a 10 lb'er that is about two inches wider than my Brinkman Bullet Grill. Is there any problem with using a "Rib" Rack to raise the center of the Packer to get it to fit - at least until it shrinks a little? Thanks! -
Boston Butt - 4 lb.
Checked my Maverick and it checked out ok. I didn't even think that it could be the piece of meat. Again, they were very good, just thought little 4 pounders would have cooked quicker. Will definitely try the no foil route next time! Appreciate all of the help and look forward to many more...
