Sticking to 225 degrees and 1 hour and 15 minutes puts you in the ballpark for a well cooked brisket. Many people believe that when the internal temperature of the brisket reaches 185 degrees, it is done.
As for temp. for a Brisket, IMHO a temp of 225* average is a good target.Place your thermometer in the deepest part of the Point and cook to appox. 200*or 210*. The point should come off easily and the Flat will be at a perfect slicing temp. Tri-Tip is somewhat different.
