Hey Everyone,
I'm helping my buddy do his first low and slow cook on his weber smokey mountain. He's having a house warming party later that night and I want to make sure it's ready on time AND I don't drag him out of bed too early if it's not needed.
He's buying a nice prime brisket (trusting I will help him not screw it up) — 16lbs untrimmed. How long can I expect the cook to take. Should I still count on 1 hour per pound at 250? I heard prime cooks a little fast, but I'm not sure if that's true.
I want to keep the pit temp at 250, and wrap in butcher paper (only if necessary), no foil.
Ideally we'll have it resting in the cooler at 5pm. I told him we should be up at 4am, with the meat on the grill by 5am. Thoughts?
Thanks!
Mike
