Brisket nearly finished...

[rcp44]

My brisket is nearly done, but I'm wondering the best way to store it. We're eating n about six hours, and my brisket is close to finished. Is there a good way to store it, so it doesn't lose any of it's flavor/tenderness?

Should I slice it after it rests, and then wrap it in foil? I'm not 100% sure what to do since I won't be eating it immediately. Any help is greatly appreciated!

Just wrap it tightly in a double layer of foil, & you can put it in a dry cooler with towels or blankets around it & it will stay hot for 6 hours. Or you can wrap the same way & put it in a 170 degree oven & it will stay hot for as long as the oven is on. If you caught any juice, then I would put a little of it in the foil with the brisket too.

You're amazing Al! Thanks for the quick reply. I smoked it as you had mentioned in a previous thread. 265-275. Seems as if it came out really well. Can't wait to dig into it later today!

Exactly what Al said!
I would never slice brisket until it time to serve.
