FIRST OFF I WOULD LIKE TO SAY HI TO EVERY ONE.I CSMOKED MY 1ST BRISKET YESTERDAY,IT CAME OUT GREAT,BUT TOOK 18HRS IT WAS 11.85LBSWE MISSED THE PARTY WE WERE GOING TO I HAVE ALOT LEFT OVER.I USED OKIES TIME LOG BUT ALSO USED A50 FT. EXTENSION CORD AND NO REMOTE PROBE UNTIL HALF WAY DONE I GUESS THIS ADED THE TIME?ANYONE HAVE ANY IDEAS ON FREEZING AND RE HEATING LEFT OVERS?THANKS!!!

I use a foodsaver and I vacum bag my brisketts with some sauce or seasoning and all you I have to do is boil it in the bag.Thats why I cook at least two briskets or butts when I cook. I have a hole butt in the freezer now ready to be reheated.

THANKS FOR THE INFO RICKY IT WILL WORK WELL MY WIFE HAS A FOOD SAVER,I DIDNT THINK ABOUT THAT...

The extension cord is your likely culprit. And your brisket only took 1.5 hours per pound and that's okay.

Simple idea for reheating. Take some beef stock, add a little flavoring to your liking and reheat the brisket with that. Leftover brisket WILL dry out, if it's already sliced.
