Join Date: 06-11-15 Location: Clifton, NJ Name/Nickname : Jonah | Have any of my dear Brethren successfully and satisfactorily finished a brisket in the oven? I smoked a flat until 162, (I had to leave for work) let it rest and want to finish it on Sunday. I seek the advice of the wise and more experienced than me. Thanks in advance! May y'all be blessed! __________________ |

I'll smoke for 5-6 hours starting in the evening.... wrap and place in oven about 11:00pm at roughly 210*-220*. Usually probe tender about 8:00am the next morning. Vent it (open wrap) for 15-30 minutes and place back in warm oven to hold until serving time. Results are great IMHO. __________________ |

Join Date: 01-10-11 Location: Lawrenceville, GA | So are you saying the brisket has already been cooked partially to 162 and is now being cooled in the fridge to be finished on another day? If that is the route I'd have the brisket double wrapped in foil with a little water/au jus and heat in an oven at 300 degrees till it rose in temp into the 190's and then start checking for probe doneness. Takes about 2.5-3hrs (give or take). If just using the oven to finish the cooking coming right off the smoker the process isn't a ton different, but the feel is slightly different for probing for doneness. A lot of time a reheated doesn't probe as smoothly as a continued cook on a brisket. Some popular Q joints reheat briskets as part of their process every time. Salt Lick cooks to a temp short of being done and then finished all the day of serving. It's one way to pretty much never run out of brisket since there are always some in the cooler with only a few hours to finish. __________________ |

Join Date: 09-14-12 Location: Spring, Texas | I wrap my briskets after they are past the stall. By that time they have achieved a good smoke flavor. Once, we had a huge storm pop up after I had wrapped a brisket. Not crazy about tending a fire in a severe rainstorm. I pulled it and finished it in the oven at 275* till probe tender. Came out like a charm. I also use the oven for holding a brisket if it gets done early and needs to be held longer than 4 hours in my Cambro. My oven will go as low as 150* so it works great. I do put a small pan of water in the oven just to keep moisture levels up. __________________ |

Definitely add some liquid to the foil when reheating. I've found that works better. Or you could reheat in a full aluminum pan covered in foil as well. __________________ |

I am driving 2.5 hours away tomorrow around 1 in the afternoon, and I wanted to bring a Pork Shoulder. I was planning on putting 4 or so hours of smoke on it tonight, then wake up around 4 this morning and putting it in the oven until we leave, putting it the cooler to rest until we eat at 5:30. Do you think this will work? |

Do it all of the time. Try to get 3-4 hours of smoke then put it in a foil pan, pour in a can of Dr Pepper (regular, never diet), cover in foil and stick it in the oven at 220 then go to bed. However, my family likes super tender, not too smokey brisket. This method achieves that goal. __________________ Large Big Green Egg "If you really care about this place, you'll show some respect for it." deguerre "Bludawg looks just like I thought he would.
