Should brisket rest wrapped or unwrapped?
Chef's answer
Once you take it out of the smoker, or the oven, you are going to want to unwrap the brisket and simply let it rest there at room temperature. If you are planning to eat it immediately after it has finished resting, you only need to let it rest for one hour.
