I think that's why brisket is the challenge. Cook it low and slow to a high temp without drying it out! It is not forgiving, that's for sure.

I do mine at 250º to 275º. They don't dry out and I don't inject.

You need one that's fairly well marbled. That is where the juiciness comes from.

Actually, the Sam's Club here has just about the best briskets I have seen.

You want to achieve a temperature of 215-220 degrees in your smoker. This is a little cooler than most other smoked meat recipes. The internal meat temperature we need to reach is 200 degrees, so this will take some time.

Depending on the thickness of the brisket, cooking time will take between 10-12 hours. But, the most important number here is 200 degrees internal temperature. Low and slow is the way to go with brisket. I use a meat thermometer with a probe to measure internal temperature of the meat.
Smoked Beef Brisket: Follow this recipe for tender and juicy beef barbeque

If I cared, I could find half a dozen recipes to counter that.

hey, it all eats the same

Nope. With the grain is tough and stringy. Against is tender. Ever cook a London broil?

200 sounds way too high!!

Just right for brisket. That's about where all the connective tissues melts away.

USDA recommended safe minimal internal temps
Beef, roasts, whole pork, steak.....145 with a 3 min. rest time.

Different meats and different cuts.

but, if it's overcooked it's dry and tough. The figure was from the Charbroil book.

Charbroil makes grills. We cook on them by our rules.

No doubt. My point was that @moreluck 's numbers were way off.

I don't see her posts.
