Recently I learned the HEB in my hometown is beginning to carry prime brisket. They normally only carry select grade and that's what I have been buying. From time to time I can make it to Fort Worth to costco to get a choice grade brisket. I talked to the meat market man at HEB and he said they would order some prime briskets and they would be in by Wednesday and I could come choose a brisket. The only problem is they are already pre trimmed..... Now, when I cook briskets I don't trim hardly any off the fat cap because I use a UDS and use the fat cap as a deflector. Would it be worth buying a prime brisket and paying the money for pre trimmed and hope for the best? Or should I just continue doing what I normally do and buy select and choice when I can? Does the extra trimming make a difference. What do you guys think?
