    Smoking a market trimmed brisket?

    Ha, nevermind... I remembered I posted the same question last summer. I throw it in the oven foiled at 250.

    Smoking a market trimmed brisket?

    Brisket smoke - day in advance

    Thanks for the advice, I am doing what you said... wrapped them both in foil and back in the oven till they reach a good temp. I messed up a little on the 11lb one, when I unwrapped it this morning the foil was stuck to the fat and pulled part of it off so it looks less than great. Just...

    Ok, so I know its not ideal... but I'm having a bbq tomorrow (saturday) at 5:00 and I am smoking my briskets now (started at 1:00pm today-Friday). I have a 7lb and an 11lb... the 7 should be done soon and the 11 will probably be done around 3:00 am. What's the best approach to keeping it...
