Hey All,
I'm planning for a lunch party and am looking to cook a 14 lb brisket for everyone. Since the party starts at noon, I thought I'd start cooking the brisket the evening before and overnight. I don't have an actual smoker but I've used a Weber Kettle in the past. It's a little bit a of a pain to monitor temp so I plan on moving the brisket to an oven for most of the cook after some initial smoking.
I'm thinking about cooking at 250F to speed up the cooking time and break past the plateau easier. Estimating 1-1.2 hours per pound at this temp (total time 14-17 hours).
Here's the method I'm thinking of using:
1) 6pm Friday - Weber Kettle indirect smoke @ 250F for 4 hours
2) 10pm Friday - Wrap in butcher paper, place into oven @ 250F for 10 hours. SLEEP!
3) 8am Saturday - Probe and check if it's done. Add on another 1-3 hours if needed.
4) Let rest for an hour or two
5) 12pm - 1pm serve
Thoughts on this BBQ/oven combination cook method?
