While waiting for the eggsperts that cook packers here are some references that should answer your questions:
I use chips (lots left-over from a prior life...) which I disperse throughout the lump load. Wood type, I use cherry but to each his own. After it passes the twisted fork tender test (somewhere around 190-205*F +/-) in the thickest portion of the flat I do wrap in HDAF and rest in a cooler (with towels) for at least an hour. Then open the foil and let the brisket rest for around 10-15 minutes (juices redistribute) before slicing.
Been lucky so far.
