3# brisket flat

@ what temp?

Okay, general rules here:

Hot & fast (300 -350 range) roughly 3 - 4 hours

Low & slow (225-250) roughly about 1.5 hours per lb

Pull between 190 & 205 degrees
 
I usually foil with some apple juice around 174F and pull around 195F. It always comes out good but it is really hard to gauge the time.
 
Yup, as the saying goes...when it's done, it's done. Could be a short time, could be a long time.
 
Don't go by internal temp, when a probe slides in without resistance it is done.
 
btcg gave you a good guidelines, the cooker and temperature makes a difference, as would the meat itself. A small flat like that is probably better done at a lower temperature, it gives you a little more room to not pay attention to when it is done. My experience has been that a 4 to 5 lb flat done hot-n-fast will rise very quickly out of the stall.
