Ive done a couple of 8lb briskets before and they have turned out pretty good, but cooking for a larger crowd so I bought a larger brisket. This will be to bring into work Tuesday morning, rewarm in a crock pot with some apple juice in the bottom. Wanted to run my timeline by the folks here to see if I have my numbers right, but first...a question....
I THOUGHT I read 2hrs/lb cooking time. But thats more for pork butt I feel as this is about the same thickness as the 8lbs I bought, just larger in overall size. I figured at least 16 hours in my equation. If I do weight, 13.17lbs x 2hrs/lb thats 26.34 hours....that seems a bit long for a brisket. Cook temp will be 225. So what should I plan on for cooking time?
Here is my timeline:
3pm Monday pull from smoker
-16 hours cook time
= 11pm Sunday night going into smoker
- 24 hours for mustard
= 11pm Saturday night applying mustard/rub
- 6 hours brine
= 5pm into brine
Thank you in advanced!
