If you get this right, a whole packer will be a breeze.

I also sent you a PM.

I'm guessing here because I never cook flats but if you are, there's no rule against cooking it to slice and then throwing the leftovers in a crock pot (with or without some extra liquid, sauce, or whatever) and cooking them until they're "pullable."

The reason you are having problems posting the pictures, is that you are using the wrong codes for a forum.

If you are using the New Version of Photobucket, I haven't had a chance to explore it much. These are the steps I take.

1- You need to hover you mouse over the picture you want to post.
2- Click on the gear icon that appears in the upper right corner of the picture.
3- Click on "Select Link"
4- From the menu click on "IMG CODES"; you will next see the message "Copied"
5- On this Forum, place the cursor where you want to insert the picture and use "Ctrl"  + "V" on your keyboard, or right click your mouse and click on paste. Both methods will insert the proper codes so that your picture will be displayed.
6- To view how the picture looks click the preview button, before you post your message.

what do you mean by if i wanna pull it. Sorry for the dumb question but i really know nothing about cooking meat. what will the meat be like at 155 IT? everything i read says to cook to 190 to 200

if you want the brisket pulled apart , shredded then a  higher temp breaks down the connective tissue
