I guess we'd have to know more about your cooking - time, temp, brisket weight, flat or packer, etc.? CS electric smokers are very tight and don't generally need more moisture in a cook.
Most of the expert brisket cookers here (not me) say dry and tough = under cooked. Dry and crumbly = over cooked. You can search many discussions on this topic here. Try searching "brisket 101."

Thanks Jay. Might not have cookes it long enough. I had a 5 lb full brisket cooking at 225. Thought about 1 hour 15 min/ pound was good enough. Will make sure my internal temp gets to 195 before I remove. Always afraid it is on too long but I guess I need to keep it on longer
