Go Big or Go Home: Brisket for the Crowd
Smoked brisket at a Memorial Day party hits different when everyone else brought potato salad.
If you've been waiting for the right excuse to tackle a full packer brisket, this is it. Memorial Day weekend is long enough to do it right — and the crowd will remember it.
We put together a full walkthrough so you're not guessing your way through your first or fifth brisket.
Quick notes for anyone planning ahead:
- Buy your brisket now. A good full packer isn't always easy to find last minute.
- This is a 12-to-16 hour cook depending on size. Plan your start time backward from when you want to eat.
- Budget 2 hours of rest in a cooler after the cook. That rest period is not optional — it's where a lot of the magic happens.
Nothing brings a cookout crowd together like slicing into a properly smoked brisket at the table. It's a moment.
Have you cooked brisket for a crowd before? What was the biggest lesson you took away from it?
