So my brisket peaked at 194. I did the Texas crutch. Before taking it off I opened to take temp again. Dropped to 189, 181 and now it is 178.  Kettle temp is probably 225.  Oven? Let it ride a while longer? Get my coals and temp up?? 
 
Kettleman, by now you've gotten your Smoke flavor and 'Wrapped' (a shame ), so I'd say ... Toss her in a 225° oven with the probe - in and let it go.... You'll lose Bark, however it will be tender.

                                                                -HOWEVER-

I would think it is at a good 'sliceable; temp. now...place in some towels and in a cooler the rest. The 'Point' can be  R&R / S &S (Removed & Rubbed / Sauced & Smoked) again ,

Thanks! I wrapped it again in foil (tight). Have it resting in coller with a towel. Will check in awhile and if I need to pop in oven will do it.  I think I have first brisket jitters.
 
last question. it has rested for about 1.5 hours. Plan to eat in an hour. Temp is 150.  Slice and put on low heat in oven? Just put in oven?
