I will start by sayin I’ve probably done 25+ packers and am by no means an expert. I have a 21.91lb prime packer from Sam’s in the feezer. I’m probably gonna smoke it for my pastor and his family for Christmas Day. I know this will take much longer than any brisket I’ve ever done, so any advice would be appreciated.
I will say I’m going to use my Rec Tec BFG to do this. Start on LO (180) for 4 hrs then bump up to 225 for a few hours and finish around 275-300 depending on how I’m feeling that day. Thinking of starting early 7:30 - 8am Christmas Eve. Would like to finish late morning on Christmas Day.
*Edit - my other option would be to start around 2pm Christmas Eve at 225 or higher, since I will be gone from about 8am-2pm.
