The first one seems to always be a challenge, in one area or another. My first brisket went to 192*, and I got about half sliced and half pulled. It was still excellent, but now after having done one, I know what I will change the next time.

Welcome, and happy smoking

Welcome to the forum!
I like to smoke briskets low and slow.....could be your smoker was too hot?
Just a guess.

Welcome to SMF! Like folks have already said, tell us about yourself and your smoking set up. We'd even like to know where you live cuz the weather can make a huge difference in smoking results.
