    Brisket ready TOO early .... Help

    I will easily make it to supper time. After 4 hours wrapped in towels in the cooler it is still at 185F. Thanks to everyone who responded. You have been a lifeline with your input!

    Richard, did you slice "the balance" up before putting in the fridge and freezer while still warm? I hear it is hard to slice when cool.

    Brisket ready TOO early .... Help

    The total cook time was 5 hours and 40 minutes. It was easy to put the probe into the meat, very little resistance.

    Roast beef game plan

    Done.  I followed your advice Aaron (and SmokinAl's advice to follow Aaron's advice....) and the roast was enjoyed by all.  The roast reached IT at the four hour mark.  FTC'd it for an hour and 15 minutes.  Next time I will pull it just after 130*F is reached as I would have liked it a little...
