Couple of brisket questions

clemsontyger97

Planning first brisket for dinner tomorrow night.   Shooting for 7pm dinner time.   I have a 9.5lb packer.   @250 and wrapping in paper around the 160 mark, I'm thinking on the grill at 3am should do it?    That assumes a 14 hour cook to 5pm with a 2 hr rest until 7.    


Second...anyone have a good recommendation for good baked beans to cook in the pan under brisket?

My 15lb took a total of 17 hours including rest. No wrap.  You should be good. You can always FTC for like 4 hours to keep warm.

Better to start early than late.

Here is the baked bean recipe I always use. Sounds weird but everyone loves them. I use apple instead of peach.

8 Strips Bacon, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1 Red Bell Pepper, seeded and chopped
1 Large Yellow Onion, chopped
2 ea., 55 oz. (3lb, 7 oz) cans of Bush’s ‘Original’ Baked Beans
1 ½ - 2 ea., 20 oz. cans of Peach Pie Filling (Comstock, out West?)
½ Cup Bullseye ‘Original’ BBQ Sauce (or your favorite)
2 Tbsp BBQ Rub (recipe follows)
2 ea, ½ size, disposable, Aluminum Steam Table Pans (Smart & Final)

Preheat oven to 325°F.

Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add bacon, stirring often; until bacon is somewhat crispy and its fat has rendered. Using a slotted spoon, transfer bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Reserve fat in skillet.

Add chopped pepper and onion to skillet and saute, stirring often, until softened -- about 6-8 minutes, maybe longer, maybe not. Transfer pepper and onion mixture to a LARGE, as in VERY LARGE, mixing bowl.

Add the drained bacon, beans with juice, pie filling, BBQ sauce and BBQ rub to the bowl. Mix (fold) to combine, taking care not to smash beans. Transfer contents, equally, to the 2 Aluminum Steam Table Pans.

Bake, uncovered, until hot and bubbly. About 1–1½ hours, maybe more...

My baked beans are simple and good - and from scratch (not that that really matters).

I have a feeling that you're going to finished quicker than 14 hours, but just FTC and you'll be fine.

250 at the grate should follow that timing fine. You are a good person to start cooking at 3 am!
