    half done

    Cooking a 9lb brisket...the point is perfect at 203 but the flat is still 170. I would really appreciate any suggestions on what to do.

    What type of cooker. You could try rotating it so the flat is near the heat. Are you sure on where your checking on the point not in the fat

      It’s a camp chef smoke pro. I checked multiple spots on the point and was getting pretty consistent readings around 200 while multiple spots on the flat were all around 170. I rotated the brisket but just concerned I will still over cook the point to get the flat to temp.

        Is the point probe tender. Maybe try tenting the point with foil

            Takes a lot to dry out or tighten up a point, if anything, you will be able to pull it.

                Good idea, cut the point end off and continue cooking the flat. Put the point in a cambro and let it rest, that's IF it's probe tender and seems to be done.

              I never worry about overcooking a point when it is connected to the flat. If it was a problem no restaurant would cook them whole.
