A 3 lb flat is starting behind the 8 ball. Really, really hard to do. Not enough fat.

This. You need a whole brisket (with both flat /and/ point).

The most expert smokers would have a battle smoking a 3lbs USDA Select flat

Not likely with just a flat.

If you listen to the king of brisket (Franklin) he cooks hotter than that. 250 - 275

It's painful to spend $70 on a hunk of meat but that's how.

I only do packers but I imagine with a small flat like that it would be better

I think you need to wrap it earlier than 160 and keep it wrapped longer

What was the grade of the brisket? Brisket flat is so lean anyway, if it’s not prime grade (more fat marbling) at least,

A 3 lb flat would be tough to do well. So small, and lean.

I think you took it out too late

Get a full packer. Make a plan for it and test your plan.
