Yes, typically, most beef brisket recipes will recommend smoking the brisket up to around 165 degrees and then wrapping the brisket before placing it back into the pellet grill to braise up to around 200 degrees.

Why do you wrap briskets? Well, there are a couple of reasons. First off, in terms of smoke flavor, once the brisket has reached around 165 degrees it won't be able to take on any more smoke flavor and the bark will be well formed.

Second, if you didn't wrap the brisket and you left it to cook on the pellet grill up to 200 degrees, at that point the bark on the brisket would likely be burned to a crisp.
