re: Just finished my first brisket

Many people will recommend 3-4 hrs of rest, but most typically don't have time to do that, so they give it about an hour or so. I would use 140F as the min temp, and anything above that is good to go. I don't see it dropping below that by the time you need it, but you can always transfer it to your oven at the lowest temp. Mine goes down to 170F, and I've done that before. I bet it comes out very good.
