Yeah, I bet you are.    Doing some quick math, since you are 3 hours behind, it's 11:45 there and your up at 4 for work which is about 4 hours from now.  If you have a cooler, wrap the brisket and put it in cooler.    When you wake up, move it from the cooler to the refrigerator.

 

[demosthenes9]

If you don't have a cooler, wrap it in towels if possible and stick it in your oven.

Long story short, unless your fridge is completely empty, you don't want to put a hot brisket in it.  It's much better to let the brisket cool down first.

 

[demosthenes9]

To reheat the brisket tomorrow, remove from fridge but leave it wrapped in the foil.  Put it in a 300 degree oven for about an hour.   Goal is to get it up to about 160 degrees.   With no thermometer, do the probe test again.  When cold, the brisket will be hard.  Once it's warmed up, it should feel tender.

Holler back tomorrow and tell us how it turned out.  Take lots of pics too  !!

Goodnight.

I do have a question why don't I have that nice pink smoke ring? I put first 30 min hand full of hickory and Applewood then next hour hand full then one more hour last hand full. So was that not enough wood?

It mite be a little tuff to:-(

 

[reed29]

I'll talk to yall after work around 4pm Arizona time!!!

 

[reed29]

By the way had same problem with no smoke ring on my babyback ribs they were awesome every one loved those I'm just worried about over smoking things and not being able to eat them

 

[lemans]

More time before wrapping more wood

 

[lemans]

As long as you don't have heavy white smoke
Comming out if the stack I don't think over smoking is a prob

 

[reed29]

Before wrapping for the cooler how much wood you think 2 more hand fulls it's electric masterbuilt 40in

 

[reed29]

Cool. no white smoke every thing will be OK sweet!!!!

 

[knifebld]

Not bad for your first brisket bud, did you pull it off at 160 or do a toothpick test?

 

[rice80flash]

How long total time did it take to cook and rest reed?

My understanding is that it is darn near impossible to get a smoke ring using an electric smoker. Now, I have exactly zeroooo experience with electrics, so I don know first hand, but that's what I've read here.

Interested my self why that would be. How does the wood know what's firing it up? Ha.

Brisket certainly looks good, give us an update on the overnight adventure! I'm tired just reading this thread!

Here's a pretty good explanation of what smoke ring is, how it is formed and why electrics don't produce one.
