Cooking is like shooting, everyone has a better idea. We season with what we like to eat and use twice the amount to account for extended cooking times. Cook until internal temperature is 195 degrees, pull meat and put in foil pan to sit in the oven or cooler for about an hour. If you go over 205 degrees you probably have overcooked it a little. We never buy the trimmed briskets, not enough fat to add flavor and moisture to the meat. Good luck and welcome to a lifetime of fun!
