Brisket number 2

1st time around I went for an IT of 190 today I'll start checking with a skewer for tenderness at 200.
 
Just slid a pan of baked beans onto the rack underneath to catch some of the drippings. A chunk of fat from the meat fell off so that got added to it.
 
Cool. Good luck. 

FWIW, I often have to take briskets well over 200 to get the desired tenderness. 207* or more in some cases. Depends on the brisket. Don't be afraid to ignore the thermometer and cook it until a skinny probe or toothpick slides in the flat with ease. 
 
The temp is just going to be a starting point. I'll probe. I cooked to temp last time and it was just a little tough.
