Brisket on pit boss pellet grill

[Stemy]

Looking for some advice on doing a brisket on my pit boss pellet grill, pro series 1100.
I have about an 18lb brisket, so first question do I want to run it on a p setting or turn it to around 220? How long would it expect to cook and should I cook up to 190 and wrap and cook till 205 and pull and rest for couple hours?

I have the Pit Boss 1000SC. I run mine on a P setting for about the first two or three hours, then turn it to 250F. Mine is offset and no PID so it runs hotter than 250, closer to 285. As far as how long it will take has more to do with the meat and the thickness of it. If you are going to wrap it, wrap it when it hits the stall usually in the 160s. Just have a good thermometer handy and try not to open the lid a lot. Plan for it to take longer then you think. Can always keep it warm in a cooler with towels or even an oven on low or off. Brisket is done when it's done usually around 205F. Hope this was helpful. If not someone will correct me soon enough.

To add a bit, you might want to wait a while after it enters the stall. Wrapping too early can in some cases result in the brisket tasting more like pot roast. If I wrap (in butcher paper) the IT is usually closer to 175-180º. JMTC

I have the PB1150PS2. My last brisket I ran on S smoke mode (180) all night 11ish till 7 AM. The kicked it to 300 till it got to around 180. The wrapped till it was probe tender all over. Then held in oven @ 150 till ready to eat. Few hours.
