The Bosch we left in our last house was at least 12 years old and running like new. Put the same on in our new home after the POS GE died shortly after closing.
That was my thought. Let it run hotter. Low and slow is a terrible myth. I run all my briskets at 275 start to finish, no foil no wrap. My rule of thumb is the more simple is always better = the more you mess with it the more likely there is a problem.

My first couple flats were quite horrible. One was almost inedible. That was before I realized the FP was much easier.
They will only get better from here on out!
