Hey All,
I am doing my first brisket this weekend and I planning out how and when to cook it.
With that said and the fact that it is nearly a 22 lbs brisket that is rather thick I am guessing it is going to take some time and I was planning of starting the night before.
Cooking Params:
Pit Temp: 225
Internal temp: 200-203
Spritz: After 3-4 hours in, then every hour
Spritz: Apple cider vineger
Wrap: when internal temp hits 165
Wrap: Butcher paper, 2 layers
Since I will be running over night and it is an offset I am going to need to tend to the fire all night,
OK, my question:
What if I fall asleep for a few hours and say I let the pit temp drop to 160 degrees?
Will this affect the meat or will it just make cook time longer? I am using common sense and will say it will only affect the cook time, but I wanted to ask the experts and see what everyone has to say.
Cheers
