    Lot a ways to go, the Travis's method my be a good one to follow or DR BBQ on the BGE website.  He rubs it with some coffee and other ingredients,  smoke I think to 150-160, place in a foil pan with brewed coffee, cover and cook till it probes like butter. I only cook packers, haven't done just a flat by itself.

    For the record I have hosed up many flats and likely would still be challenged til the local market (Costco) finally started carrying packers on a relatively frequent basis.  My success rate (better than a single in baseball terms) was about 50%.  Never did try the Dr. BBQ recipe suggested above but it does get solid reviews.  Linked here:

    The finish-line is the feel, temp is only a guide.
