Little Dick's brisket find

LittleDick'sBBQ · 12-23-2011, 02:19 PM

Greetings,

Found this 13-pounder at Wally Mart today for $2.59/.lb. I am looking forward to getting to work on Saturday/Sunday for Christmas Day meal. It is a flat with no crown (I think!). Is this what is referred to as a "packer"?

Thanks for looking,
Little Dick

Yes, that would be a Little Dick Packer

Edit: read the rest of your post. A packer is a whole brisket with the point and the flat. This looks to be that. The point is the bulbous portion on the left side of the picture.

colonel,

Thanks for the info. I am still on the far left side of the learning curve. Silly me...I thought the "point" was the pointy end!

So once I cook this up, will I need to separate the top from the bottom before slicing it?

Thanks,
Little Dick

This should get you going just fine.

This is also a great thread but more towards trimming for competition or cooking hot and fast.

That is a whole brisket known as a "packer", cook the whole thing don't separate the flat. You should always try and buy choice grade or better when picking a brisket try to stay away from select grade. You have a lot of brisket cooks ahead of you brotha before you start knocking them out the park good luck on your smoke and merry Christmas Little WeWe!
