You don't need luck, you have the brethren.

I undercooked by first brisket. I insisted that my wife made an error in slicing it with the grain. I cut across the grain, as she apparently did previously, and it was just as tough as what she cut. Moral of the story is don't pull it early, even if it looks like it's ready. You can't go wrong pulling it at 195-198. Oh, and cut across the grain. Have fun.

Yep, you'll want to pull it early. Very hard to resist. Probe-tender in the flat, that's when to take it out. Make sure and post up results.

Welcome, padnuh.

actually,you can go wrong if you pull it before it probes tender...temp doesn't matter
