In the past, I've always smoked Prime-grade whole packer briskets from Costco. Never just a brisket flat.
I love slices from the flat, and burnt ends from the point. But for the work-related BBQ events I cook (special picnics, 4th of July, etc.), slices from the flat seem to be much more efficient to produce than burnt ends from the point.
In addition to Prime-grade whole packers, Costco also sells Choice-grade flats that look pretty good. But again, the whole packers are Prime grade.
Question: are Choice-grade flats a good "choice"? Or is the Prime-grade option clearly better, even for work-related events where I wouldn't be serving bunt ends anyway?
Thanks.
