    Nice overview. A few things you may find useful: 1. Instead of putting your brisket in the fridge and then reheat it, just rest an hold it the whole time. After say 2 hrs of resting, just put it in your oven at lowest temp usually around 160-170 but 150 if you have it, and leave it until time to eat. It will taste better than completely cooling it off and reheating. 2. Smoke your meat until 180, then wrap it in foil. When you take it out to rest, remove foil completely and wrap it in butcher’s paper for a long rest. The longer pre wrap cook plus the rest in paper will get you close to ideal bark while the foil wrap will get that ideal tender. Just something to try…..there are million ways to cook these things. I appreciate the fact you oven cook after wrapping. Saves fuel and gets you out of bad weather. Anyway, keep up the good work
