Hey brother!
Hope all is well, love your videos and seasonings!! I am about to cook a 16lb brisket for the first time. And I am curious, after the initial 8 hour smoke at 195, when wrapped and cranked the temp to 250. About how long did the brisket take to get to temp? I’m just trying to gauge what time I need to start and have it on the table for Christmas. Any insight is greatly appreciated!
