Cooking Time Disclaimer
The cooking times provided on this website are estimates only. Actual cooking times may vary significantly based on:
- Accuracy of your cooking equipment and thermometers
- Starting temperature of the meat
- Size, shape, and thickness of the brisket
- Fat content and marbling
- Ambient temperature and humidity
- Altitude and air pressure
- Type and calibration of smoker, oven, or cooking device
- How often the cooking chamber is opened
Always use a meat thermometer to verify internal temperature rather than relying solely on cooking time.
Food Safety Disclaimer
We strongly recommend following USDA food safety guidelines:
- Cook beef to a minimum internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) for safety
- Allow meat to rest for at least 3 minutes after cooking
- For brisket tenderness, most recipes call for 195-205°F (90-96°C) internal temperature
- Keep hot foods above 140°F (60°C) and cold foods below 40°F (4°C)
- Don't leave cooked meat at room temperature for more than 2 hours
