When it hits 160° internal separate flat and point. Probe them separate because the point will finish much faster

Put your fuel on one side, put the point toward the heat and the flat away from it

Arrange the brisket so that the point is closer to the heat source. That makes the point just a bit hotter over the course of the cook, which encourages the fat and juices to distribute evenly over the entire brisket instead of staying in the point.

Trim less fat off the flat
