Brisket finishing early......

[cle-q]

So my stall was non existent on my brisket. Guys, if I plan on holding the brisket for a long while,like 4 to 5 hours in a cooler, should I take the meat off a bit early? Sitting on 188 degrees right now...should I pull it at 190? Or keep going till tender?

Keep it on until it is probe tender in multiple places. Then pull it, wrap it up real good and put it in the ice chest. I have let them rest four hours plus more than once.

Wait until it's tender.

It will stay hot in a cooler for 5 or 6 hours.

Does it turn out better letting it rest a few hours or will 30 minutes work out?

I let mine rest for an hour minimum.
