I have two 10 lb briskets I'm throwing on the Big Block on Saturday. Where do I put my thermometer probes, in the flat or the point?

I would put it in the thickest part of the whole cut.  Once that's done, you'll be good.

i usually probe the flat. The flat will get done first and the point is going to be cut up for burnt ends anyway

I usually shoot for the transition area between point and flat... but err more towards the side of the flat than the point.
