I made a brisket last weekend on my... 10 hour cook including wrapping it in kraft paper last 2 hours. Due to company coming over I could only rest it for an hour.
It sliced nicely but was way dry for my standards. I think my best cooks have been only smoking it for 4 or 5 hours for color then wrapping it in butcher paper for another 5 hours or longer and 2 or 3 hours of resting or a 12 to 13 hour cook then wrapping it to rest only.
Since I am not a early morning person waking up at 4 am won't work if my dad is coming over at 4 to 5 pm. I was thinking about doing an overnight cook for 12 hours, wrapping it well in kraft paper and resting in my oven (no heat on) oven for a very long rest.
I do not have an ice chest anymore because it broke, but my oven is very insulated and want to try a 5 hour rest. Would this be possible or am I risking it? I don't think I've held a brisket past 3 hours. Again, thinking wrapping it paper late in the cook isn't working for me but wrapping it to rest has been my better cooks. Thoughts?
