    Brisket hold advice

    I’m gonna hold a brisket at 145 after cooking for an extended period. - 13 to 15 hours the way timing is working out. I’ve read about 2 options 1. Smoke until “done/tender”, let cool to 160ish to stop cooking, then hold at 145 2. Take off before “done”, still slightly tight, then directly...

    Plate Rib Question

    Obviously weight and temp and all that decide, but in general how long do plate ribs take. Pretty much brisket-esque per/lb time wise?
