I plan to smoke my first brisket this weekend on my Yoder YS640. My thoughts is to run the smoker at 225 until I hit the stall and the bark is looking good, remove it, wrap in butcher paper with some tallow, throw it back in until I hit 203-205 and it feels probe tender throughout.
So my question, after I hit the finished temp I was going to wrap in towels and put it in a cooler for 3-4 hours. Is that the best way to rest it? And second, do I open it up before putting it in the cooler?
Any help or tips would be appreciated.
