Hi everyone,
I stumbled across prime brisket at my local Costco for $2.50 per pound and of course had to buy a number of them. I've never cooked a whole brisket before, only flats. Typically when I cook my flats, it takes about 1 hour per pound to get to 203 cooking at 225-250. I'm wondering how long it will take to bring up to temp cooking at the same temps for a whole 12 lb brisket. It has already been trimmed on top so it looks I'll need to only trim a 1-2 lbs off this sucker. I know, I know....how long is hard to answer but does anyone have a ballpark idea? I need it to be done and resting by 1 pm for a group party. Thoughts/suggestions on starting time? Thanks all!
Oh and I'll be wrapping it at 150.
