Separating the point I guess would work.

I have 3 WSM's. Had the same problem with large briskets. Rolling under the beginning of the point didn't hurt the brisket any, straightening it out as it cooked with the WSM, I don't see why it would hurt the finished product in your CS either.

Just an opinion. I have a 150 and I haven't had to roll a brisket in it yet, The big ones are a tight fit though.
WSM is round, so no diagonal. Smokette is rectangular, so you have a diagonal that's the sum of the squares of the other two sides (pythagorean theorem).

But I can tell you from experience that a 14-pound brisket will fit in a Smokette, though there's some cramming involved. But after cooking it winds up fitting just right without touching the sides.

Just remember, to straighten it out means opening the door which means moisture lost and cook-time increased. Roll or fold it to fit the CS. No problem if it touches the side as it's going to shrink!
