Brisket question

I left my house at 2:30 and my brisket was at 190, set the guru at 200 and left it for a couple hours. Came home and it was 182...should I pull it off now or let it get back up again? Thanks for any help.

    onelegchef, I agree with onelegchef. It was done when it hit 190 -- just needed to be foiled and let rest for an hour or two to get more tender. No need to cook it any longer, just foil it for a spell and wrap to keep hot, or go ahead and slice it if you are ready to eat. But when you first take it off, let it rest on the kitchen counter unwrapped for at least 20 or 30 minutes before you slice it.

    onelegchef,
    I did what you said and it was excellent! I couldn't even get it to slice it was so tender. 15 people killed 12 pounds of it like it was nothing. Thanks for the help! Brisket success!!
