Dearest Friends I have a 15 lbs brisket I started by trimming the fat cap, salt and pepper, olive oil and some apple cider vinegar plus sea salt and four different kinds of pepper, black, white, green, and pink. I started on peach chunks and it got up to like 150 in like an hour. Uh oh. So I took it off the fire and wrapped it up in tin foil with a water pan on about 220 * F on gas. I just had too much trouble with the wood increasing heat. since i got it to hot to fast will cooking it low on gas help me out or are we in for some rock brisket?
 
first off, you posted this in the pork section of the forum.. so you might not find the information you want here.

also brisket plateaus out around 160-ish or so where it chills out and stalls a bit.. which is when all the connective tissues break down. others might help you out better, but patience is something i've certainly learned this past weekend when doing my brisket on a new smoker i wasn't too familiar with.

good luck
