Default Super low and slow brisket question

Buddy of mine wants to smoke a brisket in the warning cabinet of his smoker and cook at like 175-200 max. He knows all about hot and fast and just wanted to try this super slowmo way. He's cooking a flat like 4-5lbs. Any guesstimates on how long per pound he should expect at that temp range?

The rule for an unwrapped brisket at 225 is 1.5 hours/lb. At 175-200 I would guess longer.

I've run low overnight so it didn't overshoot and then crank in the morning when I had to be out the door by like 8am. At 200 I'd guess maybe 8-11hrs for that size. Hadn't done one that small at that temp before.

I would guesstimate 2 hours per pound.

Will it ever probe tender at that temp? Meat cannot get hotter than the fire. I would think 225 would be the bottom of the spectrum for brisket.

Oh it will probe tender eventually. It will crumble too, and taste like beef jerky.

There is a whole legion of cooks out there that keep temps below 210 in an effort to not lose moisture

If you want the meat to get to 200, he better not be cooking at 175.

Why would it need to get to 200*, just wondering?

It theoretically would probe tender at a lower internal temp, like souvide.

I know a guy that knows a guy that owned Q joints had one of those conveyor cookers. Everything Q was 180 degrees for 18 hours in green hickory smoke. He'd start checking at 16.
