I've been tasked to smoke some meat for my granddaughter's 1st birthday party. I plan to smoke a brisket and a butt the day before we travel.
I think the butt isn't an issue. Pull while hot, seal tight with foil in a disposable pan, then reheat slowly in the oven moistened with apple juice.
I'm concerned with the brisket. I've never reheated a whole brisket before and am worried it would get tough and/or dry out. I do have a food saver and could slice & seal and then warm those in hot water. (I've read suggestions for reheating whole & sliced in the archives, both seem to have pros & cons)
Thoughts on a strategy for either?
