So I'm planning on doing my first big brisket cook and have been reading everything on this site I possibly can.
I'm aiming for a 6PM dinner and am getting a 10 to 12 lb brisket and will be using a Memphis Pro.
Based on what I am reading a 1 to 2 hour rest seems best so I'd look to be done between 4 and 5
Looks like I should plan on 14-18 hours of cook time since I will crutch at 150 and I'd rather have it done early and sit a little longer than deal with the wife giving me dirty looks while the kids get "hangry"
here are my two questions
1. I was planning on starting it off around 10PM the night before. How long would it typically take to get to 150, or when should I plan on waking up to wrap it?
2. Am I looking at this the right way?
