As probally has been said a bizillion times, but I think one of the most important steps for the packer is the rest after the smoke. I always backwards-plan in minimum two, but have went eight hours after the smoke for a rest. I never foil briskets till I pull them at 190ish. Double rap them in foil, put them in a preheated cooler and stuff pillows, towels, etc all around them. they will stay hot for a LONG time and I think this really helps, thought??
