thermometer help

[deer trail]

hey everyone, where do you put the meat thermometer in a brisket. in the side of the flat or in the thickest part of the point.

I always place it in the thickest part of any meat I smoke (or cook with any other method, for that matter).

or both, depends what the final results you are going for. With 2 you can do each section to a different temp (of course you will need to cut apart) My smoker wont hold a whole brisket, so I have to cut it. Kills me to do it but I still get good results.

So I'm guess the flat reaches temp first?
