Foil boat brisket? Any time/temp changes vs butcher paper wrap?

I've always wrapped with brown butcher paper. Interested in trying the foil boat method. But I'm on the fence.

I know how to tell when the brisket is done, and I'm planning plenty of meat rest time into my Easter dinner timeline. But I'll still interested in knowing whether I should plan for any different cooking time in my baseline if I go the foil boat route vs. wrapping in BP when the bark looks nice and dark.

Any other tips?
 
Depends on cook time, smoker temp, when you plan on wrapping, what IT temp you plan on wrapping, and what IT temp you plan on pulling.

If all the above variables are the same, I found the foil boat method takes a bit longer than butcher paper wrap. Not too big a difference, maybe 10% longer after the wrap/boat.
