How high can I safely go on a 7 lb flat? I've been at 150 for 2.5 hrs. Held off wrapping due to lack of bark and now time isn't on my side. Think I'm done with trying brisket after this one.

I’d wrap, get it done in a couple hours and rest for a bit. You can go a bit hotter and not wrap and see if any bark develops but sounds like your S&P wasn’t enough to set up.Jacksonville FL

That's what I was wondering. Watched Franklin's application and felt mine was pretty close...but evidently not--Because I'm like ice, buddy. When I don't like you, you've got problems.

Flats are tough. Agree with the advice to wrap and hope for moist meat, but less bark. Shoot for the perfect bark next time.
And FWIW, the bark is usually not in great shape until you are on the far side of the stall - meat temp of about 170 or so.XXL BGE, Karebecue, Klose BYC, Chargiller Akorn Kamado, Weber Smokey Mountain, Grand Turbo gasser, Weber Smoky Joe, and the wheelbarrow that my grandfather used to cook steaks from his cattle

Yeah Packers are very hard to find in Memphis. It actually turned out not bad. Not the greatest, however much better than where I thought I'd end up. Had I not had to rush it would have been better I'm sure. But overall...I am good. Thanks all for the advice.--Because I'm like ice, buddy. When I don't like you, you've got problems.
