I'm not sure if 275 is considered cooking Hot and Fast....

I've don't have time this weekend for an overnight or all day cook on a brisket, that I usually have to tend to when smoking at 225-240. I'm thinking of jumping the temp to 275+. I have a 10lb. and 14lb. brisket, plus a couple of 8.5 lb pork butts.
Not only am I trying a higher temp on this cook, but going to wrap it up in butcher paper (Aaron Franklin style).
So how about how long should I expect for the bark to set in at 275 before I have to wrap. I'm just trying to figure out some plans to work around.
 
Two hours or so, if you start at 275F, I cook at that temperature most of the time.
 
As an aside, the brisket will darken in the paper as well. So don't sweat the timing too much. The front 3/4 of the cook is pretty straightforward and set-it-and-forget-it. Maintain decent temperatures between 275F and 300F once it's in the paper, not much else to worry about for a few hours.
 
I cook a little hotter for the most part ( 300) I wrap at 4 hrs on brisket
just out of the paper ready for the blade.

Once you wrap in paper about how long until probing tender?

I used to smoke at the "traditional" 225 until I tried cooking at the 250-300 range and I've never looked back.

I start to check it after 1.5 hrs or 5.5 hrs after the start of the cook. I never had one go past 6.5 hrs. total. I normally cook 12-15 lb trimmed weight packers
