Brisket's Done but have hours to go?

PapaB

Just pulled brisket, foiled and wrapped in towel and put it in the cooler, but I've got hours before we slice.  It'll probably be 4 hours.  Do you think it will be ok?

Was it fork tender when you pulled it? What temp you pull it at? 4 hours is about the max I have heard. Was asking about temps because if pulled too early can just throw her back on.

I didn't check for tenderness, but the temp was 190+.

I left a foiled and towel-wrapped 8lb shoulder on my counter for 7 hours before pulling and it was fine.

ok, great, thanks for the feedback.

With brisket, its more about tenderness than temperature... Also, should stay > 160 for 3-4 hours foiled, toweled, in cooler...

Also, could cut up some point and make some burnt ends...
