High Heat Brisket -- Suggestions for 3 briskets at once (about 45 pounds)

[Gil Matar]

Hello Everyone,

I've done many briskets, most overnight. Every year I have a brisket party where I do 45 pounds of brisket on my WSM 22.5, starting the cook at about 11 PM.

I've done one high heat brisket and it was incredibly. Delicious, juicy, great bark, etc...

Can I do three briskets at once using high heat? Will there be any problem with uneven cooking, etc...?

Thanks,

Gil

I can't imagine it would be too different than what you're used to, just quicker. I can't picture how you get 3 to fit, but you might want to rotate them every couple hours.

HH method will probably make for a more consistent cook for you. You may want to protect the ends with foil when you first put them on though.

Should be easier going high heat than if you tried to do -3- at 225..........

I've done the 45 pounds as a midnight smoke. low and slow. Details here:

I guess I'm a little gun-shy about moving the briskets around with the high heat. It could be a little challenging. I foresee some burns on forearms and elbows in my near future.
