Smoked a brisket over night, and it ran a tad hotter than I expected for about 4-5 hours while I was sleeping. It's almost done and we plan on eating at 3.

It's currently in the oven finishing at 225* wrapped in foil. If I just shut the oven off and don't touch anything will it still be pretty hot at 2:30 when I plan on slicing? Should I move it to a cooler with a wrapped towel? The brisket will be done in about 15-30 min. So we're talking staying warm for 4-5 hours.

this is what i'd suggest. i've done this with a boston butt and it stayed plenty warm at 6 hrs later. still was too hot to pull without using utensils.

Cooler will be fine. You can also bring a pot of water up to heat and dump it in the cooler for a few minutes to preheat it. Dump out the water and pack with towels and you'll be good to go. I've kept pork shoulders hot for 6 hours this way.
