Brisket Decisions ..

Hey guys,

Got a ~6llb flat on at *165 internal right now and 2 ~6llb butts on top of it at ~125.

Won't be ready to eat until 6pm. I was thinking about a couple options here:

1) let the flat go to 190 and foil and just hold it in a coole with warm towels yadda yadda.

2) Pull the brikset at ~175, foil it and put it in the oven around 200?

3) foil the brikset at 175 and leave it on the high cook smoker until fork tender and then wrap some more foil and toss in the cooler.

Opinions on best option?

I'm going to have to keep the WSM cranked to get the butt done in time I think. I should have put the flat on much later than the butt.
 
It got to be crunch time so I went with the oven idea. I pulled the flat at 175 and foiled with some beef broth. Have it in the oven at 195 and plan to just leave it there for 4+ hours.

Will let you know how it turns out.
 
I meant to comment on this cook last week...

It turned out pretty good. Every ounce of the brisket was eaten by my friends and everyone ooooo'd and ahhh'd over it, but I felt it was a little dryer than I would have liked.
