Greetings, all! We'll be headed out of town to visit family for Christmas. Unfortunately, nobody in my family smokes except me, and this darn 2D makes me look like a genuine Texas Hill Country pit master. So I'd love to smoke a brisket, let it cool, refrigerate it, and then pack it on ice in a cooler for a 4-hour drive, and then reheat it in my parents' oven.
I realize that this is less than ideal. Has anyone done something like this? I'd love to hear your advice.
Also, at Costco, I always buy the flats as I'm afraid to try to fit a whole packer brisket in my 2D. Has anyone been able to squeeze one in? And at what weight?
It's a shame. Costco charges $3.99 per pound for the flats and $1.99 per pound for the full packer, so I'm spending the same amount of money on half the amount of meat. I'd love to figure out how to just throw a whole packer in the 2D.
Thanks for the help, folks. Merry Christmas and happy smokin'!
