The local supermarket had packer briskets on for $1.47 a pound. When I went to pick up a couple, they ranged in size from 14 to 22 pounds. I like to buy the size that fits my smokers, which are in the 10 pound range.
What do you think is the ideal size brisket, with grade not a consideration and if cooking time is not an issue? Obviously the huge briskets come from larger cattle, but what effect does that have on the finished product?
