Well yea... ive cooked brisket before just never overnight like this. usually just do small flats so i can start and finish the cook in one day. hard to get a flat right though...

Wish i knew! it's still on the egg. internal temp at 183. gonna pull it off at 190 and wrap it up in foil and let it rest in an empty ice chest for a few hours.

Next time you may want to use a smoker instead of the BGE.

Just kidding, I don't mean to start a religious war. I have a BGE myself but would never use it as a smoker cuz I already have a smoker- WSM.

Your brisket looks a little overdone and no smoke ring that I can see. It is a tricky cut to do it right on the pit. I know people who use foil/oven after a few hours of smoke but I refuse to throw in the towel and 'give up' like that. Foil is a sign of weakness.

Did you use a water pan or some source for moisture? Mop or spray occasionally?

It was a little overdone but i pulled it at 185 so thats why i think i held it in the cooler too long (2.5+ hours). not sure what happened with the smoke ring. it got pretty heavy smoke for over 2 hours. You could taste the hickory in the meat but couldnt see it, as you can see...

I had a little water in the drip pan but not enough for 16+ hours. no mop but i did inject with beef broth before it went on.

The meat from the point was awesome.. flat was the part that was a little dry
