good googly moogly

Well had my local butcher shop I do some business w/ order me a prime brisket, told them in the 10-12+ range thinking the 12+ might end up 14 but end up w/ an 18.5 pound monster :shocked:. It's nice a square one w/ a thick flat & big knob of a point. I've never done one this large & not sure if it will even fit on my BDS at least not until it's cooked for a bit. No pics yet as I got it on my way in to work.

Damn, I can't wait to see pics. My question is, how much did that beast cost?

$8/lb so $150

If it is to long drape it over a tomato can for a few hrs till it draws up a bit. By the time you give it a good trim it's gonna lose 2-4 lbs.

After quick glance over in cryo other than fat seam between point & flat don't see much trimming on this moozilla boobie :-D

Around me the Super Duper Wally World or Sam's Select packers are $3-4+/lb w/ about 10-12lb being avg for a packer. You might be lucky & find a choice angus mixed in for same price (meaning someone screwed up somewhere - I won't tell if you won't). Most grocery stores around here sell the no roll type (somewhere between select/choice & not USDA stamped) for $6/lb for a flat trimmed to nothing but corned beef. The butcher I got this thru stocks USDA CAB choice for about $6/lb & SRF for about $10+/lb. The CAB are normally in the 10-12lb range w/ the SRF varying but close to same range.
