Brisket - Keeping it Warm

edited August 2020 in Beef
Put on a 19 lb brisket last night around 8:00 AM and it is already at 200 degrees F which has been way off of my previous brisket cooks of 1 hr per lb. I pushed down the egg internal temperature but the brisket is probing nicely in some areas may need about another hour or so only. 

I was planning on this cook taking between 17-19 hours but looks like it only needs 12 hours. It was originally going to be served at 5:00 PM so I'm a bit worried about wrapping it in foil, a towel and tossing it in the cooler for that long. I know you can foil, towel and cooler it for a good while but are there any other methods I might be able to try without having to reheat?

Thanks

    Here's a recent thread (found using forum search function) that will help you out:

    Oven goes to 170...The brisket actually took a bit of time to get to 203 internal in the point so I just pulled it off. I wrapped it in foiled, a towel and tossed it in the cooler it will be in there for 6 hours hoping it will still be hot when I pull it out and I can cut through it without it being too tender to cut.

    If the brisket isn't still hot when I pull it out of the cooler in 6 hours I will just toss it in the oven to warm up and get it to serving temp hoping it won't get to that.

    Brisket was in the FTC for 6 hours and was still warm. It was a bit too tender probably being wrapped for so long so next time I will probably pull it off a bit sooner. Still worked out though just a bit hard to cut into slices.

    That sounds absolutely awesome to me!!  Chalk this one up as a win and sharpen your knife for next time. ;)
