190 take it off wrap it in foil put it in a towel and stick it in a cooler for 2hrs pull it out check temp should be 205. Enjoy

Thanks I'll do that!! No foil in smoker just in cooler?

I'd recommend the toothpick test before pulling it though ! Start around 185-190* & take a toothpick or temp probe.... When it slides into the brisket with little resistance then pull, wrap & cooler.... Each piece is different, some get done closer to 195* IT and I've had some that had to go to 205* before the toothpick test worked.... Just my 2 cents !

I just did a 4lb brisket this weekend, and I pulled it off at IT of 160, and double wrapped in foil, and put back on the smoker until it got to IT of 195.  I think you'll get more moisture this way (in my experience anyway).

Once I pulled it off, I left it in the foil, but double wrapped in towels, and put in a cooler for about 1.5 hrs.  Was the best brisket I've done so far.  Good luck and make sure to post a qview when you're done!
