Hey all! I am right under a year of smoking experience and doing my 4th brisket for Christmas.
I know weight is only one factor but it’s about a 15lb prime packer. I plan on smoking it this next Saturday at 6pm through overnight and have a 3hr drive to serve this bad boy at my in-laws. I have to leave between 10-11am Sunday morning.
Has any of you had any success holding a brisket in an oven or mes at a lower temp if it happens to finish early? Or is turning the smoker temp down if it does go faster to slow the cook a better option?
Cooking ahead of time refrigerating and reheating is not an option. I also might separate the point and do separate cause last time I had to trim a part of the point off the side and smoked it separate and it was to die for! I will obviously wrap and put it in my cooler for the drive
