Wagyu brisket cook time question

How long should I expect a wagyu brisket to take? Done some research here, and have seen between 8 and 12 hours. Any help would be appreciated.
 
All depends on weight, marbling, and temp.

Of course, time and temp are only ballpark guidelines. Tenderness and 'doneness' is determined by feel.
 
When I cooked 2 this spring they seemed to cook about the same length of time as the choice briskets that I normally cook.

As Travis said, it's up to the weight, marbling, temp you cook at and "thickness" of the cut. Just cook it till tender. Don't overthink it just cause it's a "special" cut of meat.
 
I agree w/Brad. However, I also cooked around 210 degrees so it would have taken longer than a choice cook at 225 - 250. I really liked cooking it at that low of a temp. What a great cut of meat

Enjoy yours!
 
Ordered it from Snake River Farms online. $85 including shipping. It's a whole untrimmed packer. Roughly 14 lbs. I trimmed a lot of the fat off since it's sooooooooo marbled. It's on the WSM as I type this!
 
Mine was Snake River Farms also, great piece of meat. What temperature are you cooking her at?
 
Well....the temp was higher than I wanted. Lid temp was up to 275! Oops. I guess that's what I get for going to work this morning! Internal temp is 175. To be perfectly honest, if this tastes as good as it smells I'll be hooked on wagyu brisket.
 
I cooked my 14lb SRF brisket for about 12 hours (my very first cook on my WSM)... temps were a bit all over the place, from 200-285, but brisket came out great. Doing one up again next week!

Thanks a lot Michael! All this talk of Wagyu brisket drove me to picking one up at lunch. Having Ed. C. and his wife over for dinner tomorrow, should make a tasty meal. Butcher had both flats and packers, went for a 6.7 lb flat, nicely trimmed so there won't be much waste. Can't wait to throw this baby on tomorrow

Now I'm facing the same question you had, how long to cook this baby, LOL. I'm guessing she'll go 8 to 9 hours at 210.
