Getting ready to go to bed, alarm is set for 2:30AM. Going to fire up the egg for a 10lb brisket for my sons birthday tomorrow. Outside temp is 29º and falling!

Not around this bunch your not nuts.
Have to ask about your handle.Salado TX & 30A FL: Egg Family: 3 Large and a very well used Mini, added a Mini Max when they came out (I'm good for now). Plus a couple Pit Boss Pellet Smokers. -
NOPE!.....But you ARE an EGGHEAD! :laugh:

I would say start it earlier than that. A 10lb brisket can easily take 15 hours and then you should let it rest atleast an hour. You are much better having it done early wrapped in foil in a cooler than kicking up temps to finish it and then not having time to let it rest. I am doing a 14lb brisket for tomorrows dinner and it has been on for a couple hours already.

I used to autocross alot back in the 80's. I had just finished building a new Toyota and was exercising it for the first time; I lost traction on the last corner before the timing lights and went thru them backwards at about 40mph screaming "OHHHHHHHHHHH SH#%@%@%!!!!!!!!!"
The timing crew found it humorous and started calling me Banzaitoyota -

OK, advice taken, firing the egg up now! -
Very good advice!Like Lit said,you want to rest it anyway and it will rest as good for 4 hours as 1.Way easier to keep it a while than to have to rush it.Especially for an event like you are hosting.Never give the INlaws more ammo than they need! :laugh:

If you're nuts .... then so am I. I started a pulled pork cook at 7:00 last night. Temps were projected to fall to below 15°F. Got up this morning and the temp was 21°F. I'm a bit disappointed, actually. My cook should be done in a couple of hours! It sure smells good!

Pulled it off at 3:30PM Temp held all day at 250º. Family devoured it. Spent the day with my son and his new shotgun we got him for his birthday. Daughter and her husband came over and we all shot guns all afternoon. All in all an excellent day

You are only nuts if you are a vegetarian.
