An internal temp phone is your best friend in smoking brisket and pork butts. You can also wrap in foil when it reaches 160* to help it pull through the stall faster... The Texas Crutch! Continue to cook until internal is 203*.I didn't measure the internal temp. I start @250 for an hour to jump start it then 225. It was closer to 6 hours with 2 more hours covered in the oven @225. Still hard as rock. Strange piece of meat.
