    I am still a newbie, but for my 2nd brisket, I am going to try a 250 dome. I tried a 225 and it was too low for my cook.
    Southlake, TX and Cowhouse Creek - King, TX.  2 Large, 1 Small and a lot of Eggcessories.

    Probably too late for this one, but at the beginning of a cook, 225 dome will equal about 200 grid temp. I'd strongly consider 250 dome, which will give you what you want at the meat level. I go mainly by the grid level temp with my maverick on low and slow cooks. Worth the money, as they'll let you get some sleep too.

    I've only done one brisket and I used pecan for the smoke. It was great, as it gave it a mild, nutty smoke flavor which worked great with the pretty stout rub. My wife, who isn't crazy about a really strong smoke flavor, loved it too.
