Brisket advice needed. Just pulled a brisket off my pellet smoker for a dinner that's not unitl 6:30 pm tonight--5 hours from now. I've got it wrapped in towels in a cooler but I'm concerned temp is going to drop too much to put the meat into a danger temp zone. What to do? Put in frig and then reheat? Thanks for any suggestions

You might be surprised just how long the temps will stay up in the faux cambro. Keep monitoring temps and you might be olay. If you have a remote thermometer it really helps. Things I have done to keep temps up include
1. Adding a hot source into the cooler, like boiling water in a jug or hot water bottle.
2. Place meat wrapped in the oven set around 170 degrees
3. Use a turkey roaster set on the warm position and place the wrapped meat in it. (This one worked really well)

Happened to me on Thanksgiving. I had it in a pretty small cooler and stuffed it with a towel to take up all extra space. It was nice and warm when we ate it.

I've had a brisket go right from the smoker to faux cambro and 6 hours later it was still up around 170F internal temp! You are fine with a 5 hour wait.

Thanks everyone. Really appreciate so many quick replies. Makes me feel better. Called a chef buddy too and he suggested the same thing. Critical temp is 135 but that still has a four hour window before having to cool down more to refrigerate or reheat. And he suggested the oven at 170, since that is the lowest it goes. Great group to be in. Thanks!! Ill try to remember to post after the dinner tonight to give an update. Best of the holidays to everyone. Harry
