How high can I crank up the heat without ruining the brisket..... I know I have to let it sit a bit when it's done, so getting it off the egg is the current goal... I'd like to take it to 195.... but......

    UnConundrum, That seems to be a long time for a 11 lb'r. But, such is smoking. I don't think you'll hurt anything running it up to 275. [p]Frequently, the mouths won't wait for the meat to sit after cooking. I generally have to serve it immediately. It goes quickly, to the satisfaction of happy eaters
