Title: Ideal cooking temp for brisket
Post by: dreys50 on March 02, 2010, 09:04:14 AM
Im looking to do my first brisket and there seems some variations for the cooking temp.

I usually see 200-215F or 235-250F. Any preference with the Bradleys as to which range is more ideal? (Time is no issue to me).

Do you guys go straight from the fridge, or bring to room temp before popping it in ?

33 degrees when it hits the 250 temp. Gives it a little while longer to absorb smoke.
