Doing a 13* prime brisket how long

GoldenQ

Doing a 13 pound prime brisket at 300 till wrap the 350 till done.  How long should I plan on.  My thoughts were about10 hours but others have ore experience

You trimming any fat? It’s been my experience that primes cook a little faster. I’d bank on 45 minutes a pound but @lousubcap would say, the cow drives the cook. Finish temp means nothing if it doesn’t probe like buttah

Unless you have a typo, running at 300*F should finish well inside your estimate.  I assume you are talking post-trim weight.  FWIW-

Definitely a higher temp brisket cook.
If you have a nice prime, like @lousubcap said, should finish quicker than 10 hours as the higher temp will push it through the stall much faster.
But it will hold in a cooler for several hours, no problem.
Wrapping  and finishing at 350 is really going to speed up the end of the cook.

It will also kick your carryover cooking into gear, so if  you are finishing at 350, don't miss that moment of doneness.
