190 take it off wrap it in foil put it in a towel and stick it in a cooler for 2hrs pull it out check temp should be 205. Enjoy
 
I'd recommend the toothpick test before pulling it though ! Start around 185-190* & take a toothpick or temp probe.... When it slides into the brisket with little resistance then pull, wrap & cooler.... Each piece is different, some get done closer to 195* IT and I've had some that had to go to 205* before the toothpick test worked.... Just my 2 cents !

I just did a 4lb brisket this weekend, and I pulled it off at IT of 160, and double wrapped in foil, and put back on the smoker until it got to IT of 195.  I think you'll get more moisture this way (in my experience anyway).

Once I pulled it off, I left it in the foil, but double wrapped in towels, and put in a cooler for about 1.5 hrs.  Was the best brisket I've done so far.  Good luck and make sure to post a qview when you're done!
 
Just a FYI, I've never foiled til the rest & brisket has been nice & moist ! Here's a pic of the last one I done, hope maybe it'll help ya somehow !

Just remember as these other folks pointed out, the rest ...... It's a real important part of the smoke ! Good luck to ya !
