Couldn't help myself and ordered a wagyu today. Can I inject with same phosphate injection as a prime or should I stick with Just a beef stock? Oils? Any recommendations would be appreciated.

Are you trying to make it taste like a Costco Choice?Pun intended brotha!!
I order SNF Wagyu. When I do, I only want to taste that wonderful extremely marbled moist Wagyu. I personally could not even think of injecting something into meat that is already just about as perfect as you can buy. I think I understand what you are trying to do, but possibly you could just give it a go and see what greatness it can be all on it's own first. This Wagyu will not be your last purchase I promise.

lonnie mac ​edible hen : yea it is for competitions. Although I'm sure your right Lonnie mac, I will get one just for home and just use salt and pepper. I know I'm going about this in a different manner. Should have tried one at home before comps. Just didn't have the time or extra money. Really inquisitive how it tastes. I will say I am glad I learned how to cook choice and prime and keep them moist from mid cook beef broth injections. I'm just afraid of making a wagyu TO moist where it falls apart, if that makes any sense.

Large Big Green Egg, Weber Performer Deluxe, Weber Smokey Joe Silver, Fireboard Drive, 3 DigiQs, lots of Thermapens, and too much other stuff to mention.
I inject mine. The reason being: it is an expensive piece of meat, and I need all the "window" I can get to keep from screwing it up.

Backyard Jambo, T1000 Woodmaster, MAK 2 star, 14" & 22" WSM, 2x 22" Weber Kettle, Stoven, Hot Box Grill, Hasty Bake Ranger, RecTeq Bullseye, GMG Davy Crockett; Original Grilla and others I'm not remembering!
I've cooked SRF briskets in contests for about 5 years now. I prefer not to inject and most of the time I will not. I do however get my meat inspected as early as possible so the brisket can "dry brine" in my rub for a long as possible. I made a road trip to The Flora Butcher in Mississippi last Saturday. I purchased 4 aged, never frozen briskets and prepped all 4 for contests last Sunday. Vacuum sealed them and put in the freezer. I won't inject those either!

If you are competing, I would say to inject the flat only, just make sure it's not too salty and you don't do it too far in advance. plenty of marbling and flavor in the point for burnt ends. Also you'll want to take it higher than 203.

CandySueQ Thank you so much for the insight. Your a proven pro. Much appreciated on advice. I do salt brine 1/4 teaspoon per pound with same measurement on celery powder for smoke ring nitrate. Idk how to use fab or the other salts nor want to try.
smokinfatties thank you so much as well on insight. I usually inject right before I put on smoker. I inject low sodium broth only (at wrap stage cuz I use butcher paper). If I need to cook waguy longer what do you recommend? 205-207 ish?

What are you doing with celery powder? It's illegal to season before meat is inspected. I don't strickly salt brine, but I do season as early as possible to let the brisket "brine" in a salty rub. One thing -- bring unsalted beef broth for the wrap. I've found it can tame too much salt down.

BarBQ22 anywhere from 205-210 depending on probe tenderness, I enjoy butcher paper at home but I don't know how well it really does at comps. Gives a bit more of the Texas style to me- crunchy bark but still a bit moist which I love at home but doesn't fare well with the judges (at least in CA).
