Can you identify this brisket?

Evilsports · 05-25-2013, 10:32 PM

I'm a newb when it comes to all of this. I went to my butcher and asked him for some brisket and he gave me this.

It weighs 11.35 pounds. I don't know if it's a packer, a point, or a flat. Can you help me identify it please?

If you need any other angles or information let me know, I'll be glad to get it for you.

I'm not really wanting to cut it open until I bbq it in a couple days.

Thanks,
Kevin.

If it is a brisket, its just the flat, but thats a BIG FATTY flat. shape is reminiscent of a flat but doesnt look like one, to me anyways.

Agree with Neon. Is it a flat that is folded up?

It doesn't seem to be folded, but I guess I can't say for certain until I open it. I'm considering cooking it overnight tomorrow, so talking myself into opening it tonight.

IMO if it is a 11 lbs., then it almost too big to be a point. Now you have my curiosity.

Open it !

Haha, ok. Be right back.

Here are some unwrapped pictures. I'm no closer to knowing where to begin on this sucker.

That looks like a hacked up packer. I can't really tell from any of the angles.

Evilsports · 05-25-2013, 11:16 PM

I'll try trimming up some of the skirt to see what is hiding underneath.....

Un skilled butcher maybe, with it unpacked it looks like they cut the end of the flat to thin and took half the point??????

That's exactly what I think happened, Neon.

It's too bad because the butcher I bought it from is a great guy and I like going to visit him.

I'm pretty sure he didn't do the butcher on it, he mentioned that he brought them in from an outfit up the road.

Shame but will still make some good food. Just not as much after trimming. Save the trimming, smoke in a cast iron pan, and add them to some beans.
