Wagyu Brisket

[Denwa]

what is the difference cooking Wagyu Brisket and Prime brisket

[DWCowles]

None really. And welcome to the Pit.

[HawkerXP]

Most likely the amount of money you paid. Welcome to the Pit!

I have never had Wagyu.

Welcome to The Pit.

I've done both. I knew it was wagyu so I was biased, but noone else knew it was any different than the prime ones. Not sure i would spend the money on wagyu brisket again. Ribeyes are a different story...

[kbremer]

mostly $100.00. nothing else

[Troutman]

Is that pit made out of stainless or is it buffed out carbon steel? That is nice if SS....

[randy.56]

I've cooked both, and once a wagyu and a prime at the same time, could not tell that much difference, except like kbremer say's $100 more. From now on no more wagyu only prime.

[CandySueQ]

There's a textural difference, IMO. I think prime has a "tighter" texture to the muscle fibers in the flat. In the right hands, a select brisket can be a beef of beauty just as well as a waygu can.

[Troutman]

True that CSQ

I would love to say that there's a difference, but if there is it's not one I can tell. The last brisket I did was an RR Ranch (still SRF, but not Wagyu), and it may have been the best one yet.

[smokinfatties]

The price mainly, and I think wagyu are a bit easier to cook and more forgiving. Little less moisture needed to add because a good wagyu is much more marbled. I would say wagyu are 10-20% better than prime IMHO but are about 200% the cost.

Also, there's a noticable difference to me between commodity prime (costco) and a really good prime grade like creekstone farms or Brandt. But those primes are more costly than the $2.99/lb costco prime.
