Depends on what I can get. My Sam's Club sometimes has really crappy packers and huge beautiful flats. The problem is it costs more to but a flat than a whole packer. Go figure. But I usually buy a packer if possible so I can make burnt ends.

Packers are for making corned-beef. Just kidding. I think flats have a tendency dry out too easily when just by themselves. Also, I like burnt ends. If you don't like burnt ends and you can cook a mean flat by itself, I say go for it.

They judge whatever meat you put in the box.

You bet they do. If it's in the box it's judged. I was talking to a judge in Waterloo - a real good guy and member of the brethren. I was going on and on about not needing to turn in burnt ends. He looked at me and said, "Judges REALLY like burnt ends." point taken.

I find it hard to get large flats, and they seem to dry out.
