Brisket Fun!

Brisket for me at 250 dome normally take on average 1.5 hours per pound. I have a 16.5 pound after trimmed Packard brisket than I put on at 730pm to get it done and burnt ends made for supper the next night. Woke up around 4 am and the egg was around 275. Since it was 6 degrees outside I thought, not that high so just left it. By 930am the brisket was approaching 200 so I went out to check thinking the probe was stuck in a fat pocket but to my surprise it was crazy tender. Dam, welli guess I'll pull it and into a cooler, point cut up and mixed with sauce for burnt ends. Since it was just us for supper we decide to just eat it for lunch and got started on the corn casserole and baked beans.

Apparently 25 degrees hotter makes a huge difference as this cooked at around .8 hours per pound. Still delicious even tho for lunch?
