How did you get a 15 pound Brisket smoking at 250 to a IT of 170 in 6 hours?

Grill at 140? Foil, towel, cooler brisket and fix the fire! Then put in back on. Probably low on fuel.

Not atypical for an SRF in my experience.

Agree with John, I did a 16lb SRF last week and it was about 9-10 hours from start to plate.  And well worth it too.

No reason for the temp drop unless you ran out of fuel.
