The usual method is to smoke it at 225-250 for 6 hours and wrap in foil. At home I'll throw it in the oven until I get the temp to around 200 and then probe for tenderness.
For this competition I was planning on wrapping and finish cooking in the smoker. But my smoker is a small cabinet, so with all the other meats in it, I had a hard time getting the temp up over 200. I ended up finishing the brisket on a small grill which ended up overcooking it and drying it out. Flavor was pretty good though.
I make my own rub. It's pretty basic, but I feel it complements the meat well.
