Reheating brisket

I will be smoking two briskets on christmas eve, one for our family party on sat the other is for my brother for his family get together on sun. My question is what is the best method for him to reheat it on sunday afternoon? I was thinking in the oven @200 for a couple of hours with a cup of beef broth. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I usually steam the leftovers. Seems when I re-heat in the oven, even w/liquid, it's too dry......HTH

A lot of times I will cook a brisket the day before, leave it wrapped and put it in the refrigerator over night. The next day I unwrap it being sure to scrape all of the jelly (collagen) into a bowl. Then I slice the brisket cold and put into an aluminum pan exactly as I sliced it. Then spread the jelly across the top "fanning" the slices so it seeps down along the sliced meat. Cover tightly with foil, then put back on the pit for about 2 hours. You can also do that with the oven, I just think most people like to see and smell the pit when eating BBQ. Tender and moist every time.

We've been slicing it up and then placing the meat and all liquids in a zip lock bag. And then cooling it down. When I go to reheat, I just drop the zip lock bag in boiling water.

When the meat gets up to temp, just pour it out and serve. The water temp doesn't let the meat get too done.
