Brisket & how long to cook

Former Member

I picked up some beef ribs along with a 11 1/2 lb brisket. I have the ribs on right now & i would like to put the brisket on tomorrow night & cook all night. I was thinking of starting it at around 7pm using smoke then at 8:30 turn the temp up to 275 for the rest on the night. Don't care what time it gets ready just want to see how long & how good it will turn out. I also want to see if my unit will go out again like it did the last time. I will take pictures of step by step & let you know my findings. I want to start with mustard & then a dry rub right out of the fridge cold. Any suggestions would be a great help.

Hi EW,
I am not sure about the 275 setting but I have cooked a few whole packer briskets on the 225 setting and I think it took about 7-8 hours.
Good luck and let us know how they turn out.

Earl,

That's a good sized brisket. When I cook them at contests, they go on at 6:00PM at 225. I usually foil them when they are colored the way I like them and pull them between 185 - 195 depending on their texture. That process takes them about 14-16 hours. At home, I cooked at 250 straight through, and it usually takes about 12 hours. For a 11.5 lb. whole at 275, my guess is 9 - 10 hours.
