I am breaking with Thanksgiving tradition and going with a brisket for 10 (~16lb purchase weight) instead of turkey. I want to get the brisket off the RT-590 no later than 4PM
I have seen a couple of threads on "Midnight" brisket. One of which smokes the brisket at 180F for ~8hrs or to 160F, then wrapping w/ butcher paper and bumping the temp up to 225F or 250F. Sounds as if this technique is yields about a 16hr total cook time. My best guess is this would give me a 10-11PM start time and a 6-7AM wrap time then another 8hrs at 225.
I usually cook briskets at 225F but was wondering if wrapping the brisket tightly in butcher paper would yield a lower temp at the brisket and need to bump it up to 250F.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
