I've got a 7 lb and change brisket on the PBC. Put it on around 05:15 and it's just about to hit 205.
My issue is the bark is...sub par for my tastes. It's my first brisket so I'm not entirely sure what I'm doing, though I did read all the brisket posts.
I believe Jarod had mentioned cooking to bark...to clarify does that mean I can let it go a little longer until I get my desired bark level? At what point to I just have to pull it?
I did have it fat cap down, flipped it after 4 hours. I'm kinda, like I said, flying a little blind. It's resting now after 6 and change hours on the PBC. The bark, the bark actually looks pretty okay

Looks awesome. Jerod is the man when it comes to BRIZ. He walked me through my first one and it came out great. Looks like yours came out amazing as well. Nice work brother!!!
Your brisket looks great! I don't care about bark on brisket, so after exposing it to heavy smoke for 2 hours, I finish it wrapped tightly in foil in the oven. But I often have guests who do like bark. For them, I take the brisket out of the foil at 180-185 degrees, crank the smoker up to 350 degrees, remove the water pan, and cook it to 200-205 internal temperature there. That's easy if I'm cooking on a propane smoker. But if I'm cooking with charcoal or wood, by the time the brisket is ready, the coals have probably died. So instead, I bring the brisket to an internal temperature of 195 - 200 degrees in the oven, then put it on my gas grill and grill a crust into it. Grill grates can help this process.
