What is the reason for finishing it in the oven rather than the grill?

The brisket is about an hour away from being wrapped in foil and I'll finish it in the oven. While the smoker is doing it's thing we will run into town to pick up a few things.

What is the reason for finishing it in the oven rather than the grill?

Because once it hits 160 degrees I wrap the brisket or pork shoulder in aluminum foil so it's not going to be getting any more smoke while it heats up to around 200. Electricity is cheaper than pellets.

We had to change plans since I forgot Teresa wants me to make our neighbors my Worlds Famous Meatloafs so the oven is taken. Jay's Grandma fell off the pool deck several days ago and broke her arm in a place that had previously been broken so she had surgery on it the next day. We are making dinner for them tonight and a couple of make ahead other dishes to use over the next few days.

Nothing says good neighbors like home cooked meals when the family is in a crisis. No matter what is going on, people still have to eat. I’m sure knowing there are meals to eat is a great comfort to your neighbors.

She was happy to see the meals as right now she can barely move her fingers. Her husband Roger was even happier.

He was especially happy to get the plate of brisket.

I didn't foil it but went ahead and pulled it off the smoker and sliced it since it was already so tender.

The brisket looks great.

That brisket looks so good! What if I broke my arm? LOL

If you wanted one we would bring it to you.

Yeah, but I'd have to break my arm...….
