    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.

    Thanks! The briskets turned out great and I got many compliments from our guests. This forum is great. This was the first time I ever dared make on demand brisket and I owe all y’all !

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