I'm late with the PrOn, but on Christmas Day I smoked a 12.5 lb brisket, three slabs of baby back ribs, and some Andouille sausage I picked up at a meat market in Houston. The ribs and sausage were excellent, and my brisket finished in about 7 hours. I wrapped with parchment paper at about the 5 hour mark, and held it in a cooler for two hours before slicing! I was very pleased with the tenderness of the brisket and I was again surprised on how much difference a good smoker can make!

I used the Goode Company brisket rub and thought the flavor was very mild. Does anyone have any suggestions on spices to more flavor in the bark?

Look super to me. People usually struggle (including me) at least a few briskets before they get it right but looks like you nailed it. As far as bark flavor, just go a second round a little heavy on spices within your flavor profile excluding salt.
 
Looks really good. As far as rub suggestions, I really like OakRidge BBQ's Black OPS with Home BBQ Beef Rub as a base layer. Perfect combo and not too salty.
