Looks great! What kind of smoker and what was your wood of choice?

Hi there and welcome!

By the looks of your trim job and your results it seems you have done some studying up on smoking a brisket and are executing it well :D

Just remember that a brisket is done when it is tender all over rather than by time or temp alone. Temp will tell you when to check for tenderness.
Best place to temp probe a brisket is the thickest yet center most spot of the FLAT muscle. A brisket will fool you easily on temp so you have stab all over to test tenderness and when it goes in ALL OVER without resistance it is tender. I use a wooden kabob skewers and I personally start checking at 200F internal temp (IT) of the meat. With a prime brisket I'll check at 198F IT.

Keep it up and great job man! :D
