My wife's family celebrates all the Jewish holidays and I get to cook all the meat. I typically do brisket in an electric smoker. This holiday will be my large BGE first! I need to do the cook over the weekend we will eat Wednesday. What would hold up to be reheated best? Beef Ribs, or Brisket? What's the max of each for the large?

    If you have a SV either will heat up just fine. If not I'd vote for ribs reheated over brisket but that's mostly because I have no clue what I'm doing with a brisket, yet. Post up the cook if you get a chance. Welcome to the forum. Endless knowledge here.

    I have done a brisket all the way to done, wrapped it in plastic wrap then two layers of foil, then let it cool a little while before putting it in the fridge. When ready to eat set the oven to 300 and leave it wrapped up.  You want it to be 140 before you slice and serve.  Not sure how long it will take, depends on how big it is.   You could go 350 as well just keep an eye on the temp.  Pull let rest a few minutes and slice.

    Don't think I'd be putting plastic wrap in the oven...

    My votes for brisket, but I have no experience reheating beef ribs.

    isnt jewish brisket usually braised, a braised brisket is a good reheat compared to a low and slow

    Yes probably braised is tradition. But they are not practicing or orthodox. I get lots of liberty!

    i just am not a fan of reheated beef unless its something like potroast but if i was to do this i would be looking for a good bone marrow au jus sauce, something with intense beefy flavor to serve with the reheated brisket

    Speaking as someone who is also cooking for Rosh Hashanah, I would not smoke a brisket days in advance.  A traditional braised brisket is much better suited to cooking in advance.  If you want to use the Egg and have any time to cook on Wednesday, consider doing whole chickens (spatch) and cooking on Wednesday -- much shorter cook time than brisket, and you can prep them the night before.
