I have cooked brisket before with pretty good results and it usually takes about 10-12 hours for a 7-10 pounder. Well I wanted to make one for the forth but I didn't want to be cooking all day so I couldn't enjoy the fireworks, so I figured I would start it today and enjoy it tomorrow.
Well I put it on the MES at 7AM at 250 degrees. When it hit 160 at 10AM, I wrapped with beef broth. It hit 197 at noon so I took it off and let it rest.
I thought something must be wrong, never had one cook in 5 hours ?????
Well sliced off a piece and it was perfect.
I plan on refrigerating it tonight and reheating in the smoker for dinner tomorrow while I am cooking a pork butt.
