I was right at 250 most of the time. It was just a small brisket so I thought 2.5 hours would do it - I used the same formula as you. It was only at about 150° after 2 hours (and I had forgetten about the chicken) so I left it in longer to see what would happen.
Try your brisket hot and fast next time you'll be glad you did.
