72CF0A07-86FC-4939-89DC-B98677C8319B.jpg This is only my second whole packer, First one I’ve done no wrap no foil. Probes done I think, was going to wrap it and stash in a cooler until closer to dinnertime. Can I wait to remove the point and do burnt ends then or do I need to do it now?
Any input is much appreciated.
 
If you really think it’s done, DONE, you might let the whole thing set a bit before wrapping for the cooler, so you can minimize carryover cooking. You want to wrap in time to keep the temp from falling too fast, but vent a bit to minimize the amount by which the temp in the center increases.

Anyway, just my pov. Let me know how you like it unwrapped. I never wrap my briskets and much prefer the bark and meat texture that way, but I always like to hear from folks who try it for the first time.
 
Thanks. Will post pics when I finish and slice.
Don’t do brisket very often but am determined to try more and learn. Think I have figured out best to do whole.
 
I agree 100%. Whole packers are the only way to fly...

I only do whole packers nowadays...and I usually separate the point and freeze. I accumulate a couple of them and make a pan of burnt ends.

IMO brisket - any part - is good now, in a while after setting in cooler, tomorrow from the fridge or frozen.
 
Removed the point and cubed. Mixed juices, broth and a little teriyaki I had left over from day before.6657F2AF-F059-4B23-B1F0-9E1067312DE2.jpg

Taste was great, especially the point. Flat was a touch dry,think I had a little too much carryover. The bark awesome!
Two things are clear: I definitely like no wrap/foil and whole brisket!
Apologies for the delay in posting the finish of this cook.
Any feedback and suggestions are welcome.
Thanks for looking.
