Maybe it's just me since I haven't done many Briskets. I got home and my digital alarm was beeping at 190. I pulled it and wrapped it and put in the cooler. When I got back up 4 and half hours later. It was still hot. so I slice some, pulled some, plated it and delivered to him hot. He was happy and promised to let me know. My boy at 6 this morning was eating the burnt ends like crazy.
