Kept my meats thermometer in it all night. Internal stayed at 157 all night. About to take out and put in my insulated BBQ resting bag. Will take pics and post later today once I slice.

How is it? I've only held in the oven overnight under 160F once. Lowest my oven would go. Felt like I dried it out. And my whole house smelled like brisket for days. Wife was pissed. I've learned some of the smokehouses that do >12hr holds also wrap in plastic wrap the whole time too.

I have an electric grill that I essentially use as an outdoor warmer, but it's a little small for large briskets.

Really good. Didn’t dry out. I had a shite ton of tallow. The point is unbelievable.

Is it necessary for top-shelf brisket? Not according to the head pitmaster at Goldee's...a #1 BBQ joint on (the last) Texas Monthly Top 50. Shoutout Burnt Bean Co in Seguin, Tx...the new #1 joint.
yea it's funny when people preach "you have to do it this way because Texas bbq joints do it that way"..... Well you are t cooking 100+ briskets to serve the next day just to serve 100 the next.

I dialed in my brisket cooking back in 2015. I came to the realization that keeping it simple yielded the best results. Trim, simple rub, and let it go til it hits 203.

Can someone explain what this Tallow step is? Y’all just keep some on the brisket when you wrap it?

I always take the fat I trim off and throw it in a foil pan on the smoker. It’ll render down, and when I wrap, I pour some of the tallow over the brisket.

207 sounds really high for that long a rest. Goldees cooks theirs to 195 and rests overnight.

Looks good man. Just so you know (and maybe you do), you want to cut the point in the other direction from what you did in that pic. Nice looking bark though.
