Probe in the Brisket?

[Stone]

Do you put it in the point or the flat? I figure the point is the thickest part of the meat, but I thought the high fat content could affect the reading. Or am I missing the obvious?

Stone,
Since the point is thicker than the flat; the probe should go in the flat since it will get to your desired temperature quicker. I have read where some separate the point and flat; depending on preference. At the beginning, or when the flat gets to the desired temperature.

The flat, and put it in longways (parallel to the grill), not in thru the top.
