3.8 lb cab brisket, cooked @ 225 dome for a 4.5hrs, foiled @ 190 and did FTC in the cooler. Result good not dry but not fork tear tender it has a chew.
What to do ? Take em higher or is it the smaller briskets are tough to perfect? No added wood for smoke, used wgww taste is fine.

Maybe try injecting it.. I used some beef broth and Worcestershire and injected at 160 internal.. I've seen others add rub and other flavorings to an injection sauce..Also, I took mine to 205 internal, then FTC'd.LBGE

The finish-line for any brisket (packer or flat) is "when the probe goes in and out like butter in the thickest part of the flat". Start checking in the low 190's but don't be surprised if the above doesn't happen til around 200+/-. The window for true success (home-run) with a flat is quite narrow-I have many more doubles, singles and strike-outs than I do triples and HR's. But the fun is the cook-Enjoy the journey!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.

You are my heroSalado TX & 30A FL: Egg Family: 3 Large and a very well used Mini, added a Mini Max when they came out (I'm good for now). Plus a couple Pit Boss Pellet Smokers.

I don't really want to try cooking a brisket on a Mini... Or at least I didn't ...until now.
