Hi guys I'm cooking my first beef brisket in the kamado, its been in for 5 hours sitting on 270f meat temp is 181f. When it hits 200 do I foil it? The other thing its cooking faster than what I expected. Dinner is still 4 hours away. Cheers

If you are doing hot and fast I suppose so, but I always wrap after the stall around 165 internal temp but I use butcher paper, not foil. Hopefully someone else will chime in that uses that method.

When it hits 200 it's time to pull it off, foil it and let it sit in an ice chest until time for serving..
Probably a good idea to let it cool down to 180 before putting it in the cooler or it will continue to cook.

Please remember the "poke test". Some briskies are done at 195°F, others as high as 210°F. No two briskies cook the same ;)
