Party day jitters

[bstory]

I am cooking 5 big briskests and 8 medium butts for a surprise party for my inlays 40th anniversary party saturday. I plan starting them both right out of thr cryovac then rub them down, both butt and brisket and on to the smoker at 250-300 for about 4 hour. Then I take them off an wrap them in foil and crank up the heat to 400-450deg . For 3-4 hour until the meat is soft and tender to squeeze . Then I'll let it rest a little wile before servicing it will be shredded briskest and pulled pork. Any suggestions

Maybe an injection of some sort. I never tried that high of a heat after wrapping. I'm usually ~350. My smoker won't even go up that high.

Injection is a must. I've never heard of cranking up the heat like that either.

I think you will run the risk of the meat being tough in that short time and high heat...but heck I've never tried it for sure....

I have done it before in a crunch, only works if you don't trim them until after. What's a good simple injection, I usually don't inject. It's a lot harder to get the fat off after and make it look nice for sliced brisket if it is not trimmed first, but cooked like this the fat will wipe off like butter after they are cooked and then I am shredding them and making burrito's .

There must be something to the opposite end of "low and slow"... I saw on TV that Myron's son now uses High and Fast routinely.

Hey Bstory what is the rush, is it for lunch? You can mix some of your rub in with the beef broth to inject those briskets and the butts don't need any, but after I wrap them I don't turn it up more than about 275 myself, and the 10lb butts take about the same amount of time as a 13 lb brisket. I trim everything first. But I slice brisket and pull pork.

RC it is for dinner but I can not go on to the site until 6am and we are serving at 5pm. If my fire is ready at 7 and I pull them at 4 so the can rest for an hour that's 9 hours. I prefer to cook them like this, just never done so many at once. I am sure it will be fine. Thanks for the tips

That's a lotta luv!!!

[bstory]

Started them at 300 for about 4 hours/140 degrees. Then wrapped and cranked it up to 375 and ran it at that from there. Three hours later it was like butter. It's in the cooler sitting at 203 right now.
