Hi guys. I haven't done a brisket in a really long time, but smoke and bbq all year round. I put a 13.4lb (trimmed weight) full brisket on my Traeger at 225* earlier this evening (4pm). Not injected, not wrapped, just rubbed. I was planning on a ~20ish hour cook. I just checked it at the 6:40 mark for the first time because I was going to likely move it to the oven before bed as I don't entirely trust the hopper on my grill. I poked it with the thermal pen and came up with 192-203 depending on where I stuck it! I checked my grill for temp numerous times since it started to make sure it was holding a decent temp as I'm in Michigan. I have a welding blanket that's just folded up and lays across the top to help the heat a bit. I'd say the temps most often when I checked ranged from 215-235. The bark on it looks fantastic. It's resting on my counter now, which I plan for the next hour.
So, my big question is - do I keep it on "warm" in the oven and wrapped until 5pm tomorrow (18 hours away) or am I better off reheating it an hour or so early? I'm completely perplexed and blown away at this being finished already. Other thoughts?
