OK, I will answer this one.
No, do not wrap the brisket in foil. Doing so would be braising, not smoking/Qing.

lonnie,
do you use a rub?? if not a good starting place might be to start doing that.
also briskets can take a lot of smoke without getting oversmoked like say chicken can.
for wood you might try a mix of oak and pecan.
please try not to foil it if you are using a cs or sm model. they are really moist cookers so you don't really need to
one other trick is to put your brisket into the smoker cold and have your smoker cold when you start.
