First time poster here - I'll be attempting my first Wagyu brisket on Sunday.... and my first packer (I've only done HOF before) so a few quick questions:
1) Did you inject, or was the fat content high enough to keep everything moist?
2) What temp did you smoke at?
3) Why did you take the brisket to a higher temp (>170'F ) before wrapping in foil?
Scotch: Current favorite- The Arran (anything by them), Glenmorangie 12yr Lasanta, sherry cask finished. The Balvenie Double Wood, also like Oban 18yr, and The Glenlivet Nadurra (Oloroso sherry cask finished) among others. Neat please.

Thanks in advance!
1) I don't inject, I think the Wagyu made it unnecessary. It was very most, even the flat slices
2) I can't believe I didn't include that tidbit, good catch. Average smoking temp was 235 F.
3) I wanted a good solid bark, one that wouldn't flake off when slicing. Too much time wrapped in foil when the bark hasn't been established well enough and my bark seems to be a little more pasty than I'd like. Per a recommendation from Jerod Broussard I began looking less at temp for wrapping, and more at bark for wrapping, which tends to be between 180-190 for me, or after the stall ends.
Huskee, it lends credibility when the moderator can cook like that! Especially using a Weber Charcoal Grill, that everyone can afford, my hat's off to you! Dan
Thanks for this topic reigniting. I ordered a SRF American Kobe brisket, and have much the same questions.
The forum is the best place for immediate answers, but you can also find enduring answers at the recipe sits of Amazing Ribs. In fact Huskee just answered there, my very same questions about preparing, cutting, injecting, and timing. The advantage is that you don't have to do a search, just go to Meathead's brisket page. there you will find most FAQs answered for posterity!
