Thinking of Smoking a Brisket

Never have smoked a brisket. I watched Dr BBQ's You Tube video and he uses a plate setter. Is this necessary? Pros and cons and any suggestions for a first timer would be appreciated. Thank you.

    I have not done this but if Travis says I will go with it. Turbo Brisket (Travis) 350 until 195, need pan with beer. 10 lb app 6/7 hr then in a cooler wrapped in towels for a hour or so. When you unwrap, foil is full of juice!! put a lot of wood chips and chunks to get as much smoke in before the meat hits 140, good smoke ring most of the time. Cut against the grain.
    Salado TX & 30A  FL: Egg Family: 3 Large and a very well used Mini, added a Mini Max when they came out (I'm good for now). Plus a couple Pit Boss Pellet Smokers.

    Platesetter, yes. Even at 350° egg temp, you don't want to grill the brisket. You want to cook it so that the fat can render out before the IT hits 195°+.
