So my brisket has reached 195 IT....but The toothpick does not slide in without effort. So I recheck in 30min?? It smells amazing btw....

Awesome! 30 minute checks would be okay.  It may have to go another couple of hours.  I love that your looking for toothpick tenderness with a brisket!  Keep us posted!
