Started my 12.5lb brisket at 8 pm 230 dome. shooting for noon tomorrow. starting temp 41degs.after 2 hours it's up to 125 degs. is this too quick? Help!

Probably not. I would figure 1-1.5 hours/lb of brisket. A dome temp of 230 is a grid temp closer to 200*. If you wake up in the AM and you are still close to 160-170 you may want to bump the temp up to 300* to finish it off. You will be able to rest it for a few hours easily in a cooler, so shoot to be done by 9AM or so.

I was planning to rest it in a cooler after I pulled it at noon. Probably eat at 4. do you think it will hold that long if I have to pull it early?

Ok, I misunderstood you. I thought you wanted to eat near noon. If you are at 230* dome and 130's in the meat, It might be close to noon when it is done.
