Well there's been a change in plans, Sam's only had 13-14lbs briskets so I'll just be doing one instead of two. Going to try to get it in the smoker around 3:30 this afternoon and hopefully it'll be good to go by 6am. Even if it's not quiet to 190 - it should finish cooking while heavily wrapped in foil, and in a cooler with towels out of the dryer... right? (keeping in mind we won't be eating till noonish).
BTW - as far as wood - I plan to drop down to 3.5oz mesquite and 3oz of hickory. Sound about right?
Smoke on!
