What to expect with wagyu?

[orthodoc]

hi everyone...
I got a snake river farms gold brisket, about 12lbs....
Will this cook faster than a standard packer brisket (ie choice or angus)?
I’m trying to decide when to put it on to serve at 7pm

Thanks as always!

Not many of us familiar with Wagyu beef, but I think you are correct in that they cook faster than a choice. I think I would call Snake River Farms & ask them.

It still comes down to what temp U R going to smoke it at. As a single point of reference, the only waygu brisket I've smoked (12.9 lbs before trim) was at 240º-ish and took approx 8 hrs to reach an IT of 200º followed by a 2 hour rest. My notes indicate it should have been left on a little while longer because the flat slices did not easily pull apart as expected.
