This may be a dumb question....
but I have a 21 lb brisket (smaller once I trim a bit) and I am trying to prep time-wise when I should throw this brisket on the smoker.
I plan on smoking around 225-250F.
I know every piece of meat is different and I will pull based on probe tenderness.
But I've also read rough estimations of maybe an hour to hour and a half per pound...if that holds up I'm in for a reallyyyy long cook.
I've done 3 briskets so far, but nothing above like 16 lbs.
Basically, should I prepare for this to potentially take upwards of 16 hours?
Thanks for any advice!
