Brisket flat question?

Happy Easter all. Got up at the butt-crack of dawn and tossed on a 5.5lb flat. Internal temps at about 155 now. Should I let 'er rip all the way to 195 like a full brisket or should I pull at a lower temp and foil? Oh yeah haven't even opened the egg once yet. Gotta love that.

    I am not an eggspert but I did cook my first brisket (6.2 LB flat) Friday and it came out great. I cooked it at a dome temp of 230-240 and took it off around 195 internal. I did the "fork" test before pulling it out of the BGE. I let it rest for a couple of hours wrapped in foil and towels in the cooler before slicing. I did not foil or baste the brisket for the 9 hour cook period. Plenty of advice if you have time to search it here on the forum. Good luck!

    Thanks, think I'll let 'er go to 195 then pull. That should give the wife plenty of time to make her famous borracho beans & tater salad. Enjoy the holiday.

    How did the brisket turn out? We just finished our leftover brisket last night by chopping it up and adding it to a pot of homemade vegetable soup. Pretty good stuff!
