I usually cook my brisket to 200, when I am doing flats or packers. 200 is just a guideline, I also check how a probe slides in - if it's like butter it's done, if there is resistance... not done.
Good luck.

Took my last one off at 202 I think. Did it in a pan the whole way. It was great.

I never check the point, I check the flat, I look for around 195-200 and do the probe test. The probe test is my main method, not temp. I actually start checking at 165 for the stall and 180 or so in the flat for if it is done.

Yep... This. Internal temp is a guideline. Go by feel. Your last brisket may have been done at 190 but this one may need to go to 200.
