    Smoking brisket flat only

    First time smoking just the flat portion of the brisket. Smoking temp will be 250 degrees and I will wrap the brisket around 165 degrees with butchers paper. I am adding beef tallow upon wrapping it. Do you think the overall cook time will be shorter since it is a flat? Roughly 9 lbs flat.
