Hi temp brisket flat question

[Stephen T]

I'm running two 4.5 pound brisket flats at high heat. Should I wait until 170 to foil or is 160 OK?

Thanks!

I do mine at 325F, in an uncovered aluminum pan, for 2 hours, then cover with foil and cook for about another 1 hour, until probe tender (about 200F internal). I then wrap the foiled pan in towels, put it in a cooler, and let it rest for about 2 hours.

Good luck,

Bob
