Quick Brisket Help Please

I am 14 hours into a cook on a 16 pound whole brisket indirect at 235. The thickest part of the flat is at 195 and the point and that thick part of the flat are super tender, however, the thinner part of the flat is still quite firm, should I pull now and ftc or should I continue to let the brisket move towards 200-205 and see if the thinner part will get more tender?

I'd suggest going to 200 and FTC for 1-2 hrs

Sounds like a good problem to have. If it were me (and believe me, I wish it was) I'd strongly consider pulling it. If cut off the thin part of the flat and wrap the rest for a rest. Then I'd cube up the thin part that's not tender yet and make some burnt ends.Hope it turns out great either way.CheersB_BFinally back in the Badger State!
