My best brisket ever. Also, a long cook. 9 hours on the pit, 7 in the oven at 240°.
Didn’t get it on the pit til 8am yesterday.

Total cook time was 16 hours. So, did you eat @ midnight last night. Great looking bark and smoke ring. No way that was cooked in a pellet smoker. Love the way the fat looks rendered. Time is the only way to achieve that. Looks like you sliced it the correct way to. Seen lots of briskets on here that were sliced with the grain, which is wrong. Congrats!!! Please fill out the survey below.
What kind of wood did you use.

What rub did you use?

What internal temp did you wrap and put in oven?

What was the internal temp when it was done.

Did you let it rest?

Wrapped with pink butcher paper after 8 hours. It hit the stall in the flat at that time, and didn’t want to feed the fire any longer. Moved to the oven an hour after wrapping.

After I hit the stall these days the brisket is no longer going to take on smoke, so I wrap toss in the oven and go to bed. Waking up to a almost done brisket is a beautiful thing.

I mistakenly put it fat side down, didn’t notice til I went to spritz with apple cider vinegar after 3 hours. But I think it works best for my pit. The cooking chamber is big enough for one brisket, and the fat insulated the bottom from the heat.

Herbie,
What temp do you set your oven at? What do you wrap with?

250° and I use butcher paper, I also put the brisket on a cookie rack in pan, keeps the air flowing all the way around the brisket. The bottom doesn't get all soggy.

While I typically put fat side up, I can say i have eaten a slew of absolutely great brisket cooked both ways. I need to eat a brisket like I need a new hole in my head, but now I want to cook one.

I was pretty close to your method. Set oven at 240°, wrapped with pink butcher paper, set on a cookie rack.

My mom wants brisket for Mother’s Day. I’m terrible with brisket- I’ve got the traeger, so I’ll do my best to follow this.
