So this my first attempt at a brisket. It's a texas wagyu brisket. I trimmed off the excess fat, put a stone ground mustard over the brisket then a dry rub. It was put in the egg at 8:15Pm and it is now 6:30am. I set temp at 225 but had to leave for a bit. When I came back 2 hours later temp had slowly risen to 350. I closed the lower draft and dialed down the damper on top and temp seems to be dropping. I hope I didn't hurt the brisket

    I'll bet you are going to be just fine....you can foil it if you think it's going to get too dry before you are ready to finish it.....looks like an excellent choice.... :)

    You will be fine. That wagyu should have lots of internal (marbled) fat. I cook normal briskets @ about 325 for a couple of hours in the middle of the cook sometimes. I do it on purpose, you did it accidently. Both come out good!
