Edible just not what I wanted … can’t remember the exact size it was a smaller prime brisket from Costco. Put it on the smoker around 9pm and around 5 am it was hitting 170. Decided to wrap it in butchers paper with some beef tallow and got it up to 204 and it was probing find around the point I didn’t like how it was probing in the flat as much but I was getting impatient. Let it sit on the counter for an hour before I let it rest in a cooler for 5 hrs. It was good but definitely more of a roast consistency and taste. The flat was on the drier side, it didn’t want to bend or cut easily. Likely overcooked and seemed like I steamed it at some point. Looking for any tips trying again next week. The first pic is before the wrap.. the rest are the results.

Wanted to mention this was on a pit boss pellet grill ..
Bark looks amazing!
I did the same thing on my first one. I tried to crank up the temps to get it done sooner. I think an 11 lb I started at 6:00 am and wasn’t done until 9:00 pm when everyone was asleep after the Super Bowl. My last on was 21 lbs and started at 5:00 pm and finished 10:00 am the next morning. A labor of love with a brisket.
