Brisket Resting Questions

[GrapeRadio]

Has anyone ever tested the amount of fluid absorption rates/amounts that takes place with resting?
Does the resting have any negative impact on the the bark?

Wrapped? Always. Some less then others.

along these lines, I've wondered why the wrap in blanket, then a cooler...

last time I did one, I just put foil over it and put it in a cold oven for a couple hours. I figured, it's an insulated box...

turned out pretty good.

Some briskets can be hot enough to damage some cooler interiors.

I’ve used a blanket, just in case that I didn’t wrap well and there was a leak.

I hold briskets in my MES that's controlled with PID. Built it to do sausage originally so it holds low temps well.

I just covered the brisket with foil and put the whole pan (yeah, I use an aluminum pan) into the cold oven to rest.

easy.

I rest mine in a turkey roaster set at 150, the first few times I used a thermometer in the meat to confirm 150 & now I just set it & forget it. My last brisket was held for 17 hours using the turkey roaster.

I appreciate the responses. I am still curious about the answers to my questions above. I was less interested in the “how” you rest Vs what you saw is potential drawbacks.
