I tried to smoke a brisket for the 4th and it came out dry and overcooked and I can’t figure out why, I put it in at 200 overnight until it reached 165 and the raised it to 250 (I did not wrap it) until the brisket got to 200 internal and rested it for 2 hours. My grill may have fluctuated up over 230-250 when set to 200 and as high as 300 when set to 250 (it’s older and from Sam’s Club). Would that make sense why the brisket came out bad?

Any tips or recommendations would be a huge help, I was super excited about this one and want to try it again
