So I started this morning at 6:00 am with 2 - 4 lb flats on the lower grate of my 22. I used minion to start and full water pan of cold water. been holding steady about 235-240 no issues. I verified the the lid temp is correct. My brisket is already at 150 after an hour and a half! that doesn't seem right to me.I could switch them to the top grate.
 
Keith, with water in the pan the hotter surface would be closer to the lid(upper grate). Need to check your thermometers 150 after an hour doesn't seem right
 
It might be hitting it's plateau now. It rose awfully quick! right now it is 160 and I'm holding 225 at the lid (which I know is plus/minus 3 deg.)
 
That's not a very thick piece of meat, are you foiling? If you foil I'd keep a very close eye on it. I only do packers never done just a flat. Your probe might be close to the surface of the meat maybe?
 
Bob - no foiling. It definitely started its plateau about 160 deg. It's now 174 after 5-1/2 hours and I'm going to 190. So the timing of 1-1/2 to 2 hours should be about correct. It just hit 160 so fast, I got worried. I'll post pictures of it when complete.
