I have a 11 Lbs brisket I plan to smoke this weekend. How long will it take to thaw in the refrigerator and how long will it take to cook at 275?

It could take a couple days to thaw completely. I believe the rule of thumb is
1.5 hours per pound at 250 degrees. Each piece of meat is different and you'll know when it's done when you can stick your temp probe in the thickest part of the flat and it goes in like you're sticking it into butter. Use temp as a guide but let the meat tell you when it's done. I would start looking to see if it's done when it hits 185ish.

Really, 16 hours? Seems like a long time to me. If so it looks like I am getting up early to put this one on.

I just did a 15lb brisket in my Memphis at 230F and it took 9 1/2 hours to reach 190F IT. And I did not foil it. I thought it would take much longer than that.
