    finally found a whole brisket- when should I start it?

    hit 165 in about 7 hours. double foiled and in the oven at 225. I'm getting hungry. Haven't seen a plateau yet so I have a LONG way to go.

    I couldn't wait, I started it. I'll run it to 165-170 and foil it really tight and run the smoker at 200 and let it go overnight. It's all folded up trying to stuff it in my little MES lol

    I could, but I had planned to just smoke the whole thing and slice it, then vac seal it and freeze individual portions of it.

    I don't want to miss either window though, I've had briskets before rocket to 170*, I could start it now and cook it to 170 and foil, then back the heat down to 205 like you did and let it run overnight, maybe I'll try that. If I start at midnight I don't think it'll be at 170 before I wake up...

    going to smoke a 15lb whole brisket for the first time, the local grocery store happened to have one out today. I usually figure about 1.5 hours per lb for a flat cut @ 225 degrees, if the same holds true this one will take almost 24 hours to smoke which means I should start it around 3-5pm...

    MES superbowl sunday smoke...

    it was, I'm cooking for one so I don't like to get too much. guess next time I get a packer and just start it around midnight and let it go while I sleep and slice it and freeze the extra in portion size bags. Seems like a load of wood in the MES runs a good 6 hours anyway so I guess it should...

    MES superbowl sunday smoke...

    It had about a 1/4" fat cap. I don't like to mop because the MES takes so long to get up to temp after you open the door.
