Smoking a smaller 5.5 lb brisket and just hit 153 internal temp what are your thoughts on whether or not to place this beauty in a pan with beef broth or just let it go and wrap in foil once it reaches 180ish?
 
Still may take you several hours to get done, but good luck.

Please stop in at your profile and let us know where you are , and send Q-view of your fun...

As always ...

I would wrap it when it hits about 150 - 155.  Wrapping will cause a little loss of flavor, so sprinkle a little rub on it when you wrap it.  You can put in a little broth (maybe 1/4 cup) if you are concerned about it drying out, but it is not necessary.  If you are cooking in the 250 - 275 range, it will be done around 199 - 202 internal.   At the end, you can use the temp probe as a tenderness probe.  Pull it when it FEELS tender.  Then open the foil and let it rest for 20 minutes or so.
