What temp are you smoking the brisket at? The only reason i ask, is yesterday i smoked a 4.5 lb brisket at 220 and it took 10 hours to reach 183. Of course, each hunk of meat is different.

i plan on around 275-300 maybe. like it to be done around noon.. i hope...... i also like my beef on the rare side so we'll see what happens. im shootin for a nice bark and moist ,tender and a bit pink inside. if all else fails i have some ribs on there too.. lol

Good luck today with your smoke, and remember to share the eye candy with us when your through!!!!

When I run the smoker hot at 300 my spares take about 4 hours to finish, brisket of that size and those temps should finish in time, should so don't yell at me if it takes a little longer...

I do large cuts of meat at around 250° or so. Good luck on the brisket today.

i really never heard of a "done rare" brisket. as far as i know they have to be well well done in order to eat unless you have some super strong jaw muscles.. i'd be interested to know how it turns out
