Since the flat cooks faster and dries out, why wouldn't you separate it from the point?

If you're cooking a whole brisket, where should you stick the temp probe, the flat or the point?

You've cooked it too long. Position the brisket with the flat away from the heat as much as possible. In my case, I never separate the two if I bought it whole. Wrapping it around 160ish to get through the stall will prevent the flat from drying out as well.

The butcher at Rouse's cut a whole brisket for me once. I wanted the point. Just ask...you never know.

I usually use 2 probes. One for the point, one for the flat. Now, normally, you can just probe the flat and pull when it reaches temp. That will get you close.
