Brisket at noon kickoff: overnight timeline check

SmokeAndSpice Junior Member #1 · Original post · Fri, 04 September 2026 15:13 Brisket at noon kickoff: overnight timeline check I have a twelve-pound brisket and a noon kickoff, which means the smoker schedule is trying to ruin Friday night. Plan is trim at 6 p.m., fire at 8, meat on by 9, wrap near 3 a.m., then hold it in a warm cooler once tender. I would rather finish early than serve chewy slices at 11:45. Anyone see a flaw besides hosting brunch with brisket? 6 👍 9 🔥 4 💯 4 Reply Quote ShareCopied! Sponsored ADGrow your business with our fans — advertise with us.
