Smoking a Brisket in advance

[Steve G.]

My wife and I are going to an event and she really wants me to take a brisket (twist arm). Due to scheduling, I am unable to smoke it the day of the event. I will need to cook it in advance (2 days) and be able to reheat it for the event. I am hoping for some advice on technique in doing this (ie, cook it as normal or not cook it as long...how to hold [freeze or refrigerate]....how to reheat it [time and temps].

Thanks for the help.

Cook normally, cool on the counter; fridge. Try this approach.
