Percentage of fat in a brisket?
.. and is this by weight or volume?
Trying to justify buying a packer with tons of fat on it.

I trim about 2 pounds off of a 12 to 15 pound packer. That would be 15 to 20 percent. I trim pretty thoroughly. However, I render the fat and use it for other things, so no waste here.
The reason to buy a packer is that it just plain cooks up better.

I am just gonna say, those were wonderful and worth every penny that someone paid me to cook them for him.
By the way, those had less than 10% by weight of trimming needed.

I wait for Smart and Final to give me the $1.99/lb price on brisket then I go for the 18lb'er. Patience. However, I have been so close to buying a Snake River Farms Wagyu brisket...... just afraid I'll screw it up.

So brisket is only like 20% fat, that's not bad at all really. plus fat weighs less than meat so.. hrm.. I think I'll buy two packers soon from Sam's. I think they are $2.38 a pound there.
I wanna bbq a full uncut packer in my Mini WSM (just to say I did it). It'll be my first packer and in the Mini WSM :) And I'll use the other for a boat load of STRAMI :)

At the local HEB (grocery store in Texas), I recently bought a full packer for $1.79 a pound (on sale). Now, it is not prime or CAB, but it tasted good. I think they are normally $1.99, maybe a little more here. That is before the prices go up (recent news stories).
