Welcome to the site and to the smoking hobby.  Probing is the best way to test done-ness on your brisket.

Welcome to SMF 1bugofff ! Smoking by temp (via a probe) can be helpful for sure but temp by itself is not the final say. Regardless of what the thermometer indicates, briskets are done when a probe pushed in feels like a knife into warm butter (very little resistance). Then it should be pulled and rested. Check out the brisket threads, plenty of helpful info there.

What is best way to season new Charbroilet smoker with side burner. Should I wipe all down with oil then burn two hours then wipe again with oil. Was in hospital for last 4 week with cancer.
