Monday we're having a BBQ feast at work. I'm doing a 10# brisket and my buddy's doing a couple turbo butts. I've done at least 3 briskets and it seems like every one's been different, but at 250°, no foiling about how long could it take to reach the 195-205 pull temp? My first brisket on the egg I swore took 23 hours. Trying to figure out how long it's going to taken because I want to start it early enough to be able to leave my house at 4:25am Monday to head to work.

    With prime cuts I figure around 1 hour/lb running at around 270*F (+/-) on the calibrated dome.  Given your departure time, I would aim to finish and FTC the evening before.  Thus if the cow is being stubborn you can dial it up to punch it home without stressing. (a 4-6 hour FTC is easily achievable).   If the 10# brisket is pre-trim then it will likely be in the 8-9# range when ready to go.  The key is your own recollection...every one is different.  The cow drives the cook.  
    Just be sure to give it around a 15-20 minute cooling rack rest before the FTC and only slice on demand.  FWIW-
    Louisville; Rolling smoke in the neighbourhood. # 38 for the win.  Life is too short for light/lite beer!  Seems I'm livin in a transitional period.
