So yesterday, it was a beautiful Saturday morning at 5am. I wake up to birds and sun peaking in. "I'm gonna throw on that brisket I've been eating to cook". "7 hours should be OK, maybe,it's only 5 lbs". Well, as it turns out it wasn't. I fired up my pitboss 820 and had rubbed the brisket with salt and pepper. Got it on the smoker at about 5:15 am at 37°. Let it smoke at 225-250 until about 12:00 when we had to leave. I pulled the brisket at about 175°. Yeah, I know, bummer. I wrapped it in double layer of foil and let it rest while we were gone, about 3 hours. Got home and it was at 77°. I put it in the fridge. What should I do to try and save this brisket? I kno it is technically cooked and can be eaten, but I don't want it to be tough. Any thoughts would be great. Thanks guys!!
