Why did Travis cook my brisket so fast?

I had a 9# prime brisket reach the finish line in 6 hours.  I was planning for an hour per pound with a hour or so to rest. Followed the Travis method to a T.  Is this unusual?

    Liquid is a much better conductor of heat than air...

    And depending on your calibrated dome thermo cook temp, that is not out of line with recent cow behavior.  
    BTW-welcome aboard and enjoy the journey.  Above all, have fun.

    The dome temp was 300 and grate at 285ish.  I’m not complaint about cook time.  It’s dinner time I’m worried about.  I left it in the pan and FTC.  I assume it will ride out till 530.  Pulled at 12:30.  Also thanks Lousubcap.

    Props for filing this thread under “Beef” and not “Boil”

    With a good FTC you will make it the 5 hours just fine.  If I recall right, the food safety guidelines are less than 4 hours in the 40-140*F window.  You are well clear of that.  FWIW-
