I've done several briskets in my smoker. They all seem to take 12-14 hours to reach 195 internal temp. Got up @ 4 am to put brisket in smoker for dinner party tonight. Checked temp at 10:00 am and temp is already up to 185. How long can I hold it at 140-150 smoker temp without ruining it? Should I take it out and cool it then reheat it later. I want to end up with a sliceable product, not pulled meat. Thanks to anybody who can help.
