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.
 
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.
