Attempting first Brisket. Only 9 pounds and it may be cooking too fast, 7AM and I’m already at 135 degrees.

Looks like it came out great, what was the total cook time? Would you do anything different next time?

Total cook time was 12 hours. I wrapped in butcher paper at 160. Since it was a small brisket, I thought it would dry out but very juicy. I wouldn’t change anything.

hi there
I don't know if this is the right way to do it only just joined.
I had a small piece of dry rub flat brisket in the freezer and decided to cook it for fathers day it probably weighed about 2 1/2lbs I've never cooked brisket without foiling so I thought small piece lets have a go. I used the beginners recipe in the Traeger book so I smoked it for about two and a half hours on smoke and then 225.The meat was put on at 1pm and thought ready 6 or 7, I went to bed at 1.30 am with the internal temp just about 80 basically I gave up, can anyone give some pointers as to where I went wrong? I know I didn't foil but 12 hrs for a 2-3lb piece of meat.
