Thanks got a 11 lb brisket in the MB electric right now.Friend told me start it in the oven at 200 and then smoke at 225 until internal temp reaches 195. Do you agree.

There are SOOOOOOOO many ways to hot smoke a brisket.  Folks find one way that works for them and stick to it like paint on a wall.  Interesting thing is that just about every technique works.  The one variable is time.  The lower the temperature you smoke/cook a brisket the longer it will take.  On average an 11 lb brisket at 225F chamber temp should take about 15-20 hours.  At 275F you can scratch roughly 1/3 that time off the clock.  And someone yesterday had one finish in 7 hours at 250F.  That's a rare occurrence, but it happens.   
 
Thanks, After cooking for about 14 hours, was gone for about 4 hours and when I got home the internal brisket temp was 215. It was absolutely delicious but just a wee bit dry. 200 would have been better I suspect!
