I think he's likely correct on finishing time. I often go 15-16 hours at a 240 +/- range to get as tender as I want it. Good luck!

I'm not a big fan of wrapping any bbq , but brisket is the exception for me. I wrap mine at about 170 with pink butchers paper. Foil will work as well though. It will help it finish and keep it moist

I'll play it by ear. If I need it to finish quicker I'll wrap. But I'm gonna ride it out as long as I can.

Anyone have a good recipe for a homemade BBQ sauce for the brisket?


Tomato sauce
Ketchup
Worcestershire
Brown sugar (not too much)
Splash of lemon juice
Splash of ACV
Cumin
Salt
Black pepper

Simmer uncovered for 20 minutes then let cool.

I prefer a vinegar heavy bbq sauce for brisket.

Pretty much what is posted above, but I use something like rice wine or Apple cider vinegar instead of ketchup.

Appropriate attire for smoking a brisket is jacket and tie.

I know. Should have put it on earlier. How long will it take to get to temp if I wrap it now?

Once it reaches 180 go head and wrap it. Your meat is currently in the stall and you don't wanna open the lid to wrap right now, you need all the heat you can get.

Once it's at 180, wrap and place back on the smoker. Hell you can cheat now if you want and throw in a 275 degree oven. The brisket has picked up all the smoke it's gonna get. Heat is heat at this point.

I hit 180 so I wrapped and put it back on. The grill temp shot up to 280. Having trouble controlling it at this point.

280 is fine. Especially since it's wrapped. If you want it done by 5ish you're gonna want a higher temp anyway (275-285).

you'll be fine
