    Nope-Just nail the finish feel (likely in the 202-208*F region.) Flats are a challenge to hit the target as the finish window is quite small.  If you can get your hands on a packer the cook is a bit easier.  
    PM sent with some brisket info that may be of some use the next time.  
    Louisville; Rolling smoke in the neighbourhood. # 38 for the win.  Life is too short for light/lite beer!  Seems I'm livin in a transitional period.

    Glad it turned out well.  Nailing an on demand flat is a challenge across the board.  Congrats.
