    @SBGonzo - if you can get away with an even longer FTC the brisket will enjoy it but an hour is better than nothing.  Remember to only slice on demand against the grain.  And the grain pattern rotates around 90* once you get to the point.
    Here's a great link that takes all the mystery out of slicing a brisket (and why you should relegate burnt ends to pork belly):

    Enjoy the follow-on eats.
    Agree with slicing on demand... I learned the hard way!

    The FInish....overall I am pretty happy with the results, especially since it was both my first overnight cook and Brisket cook. Long over due for sure, I can honestly say I learned a lot, already planning to change a few things up on the next one. The Brisket was moist throughout, final cook time 18.5 hrs at 235 degrees. My 9yr old, seemed to enjoy it, went back 3 times for more. Lol 

    Thanks for all the great posts and videos! 

    The Finish right before FTC

    Nice work!

    Next time start at 275F and see if you like the final results.  Play around that temp - it's magical for brisket.
