Great vid as always sir.On the next one- can you possibly make a video on how to slice for comp? Im a noob and have never done a comp and am looking to learn how to properly slice the brisket(just got my 14" Wusthof im dying to use). I have not had any luck finding a walk through or vid online. Would really appreciate it!

It has alot to do with what you buy and the grain direction of the meat. IMO it takes 2 people to properly slice a brisket thats cooked with a perfect pull but not fall apart, and a super razor sharp 12" slicer. Screw the electric knives for brisket. I always slice brisket with one hand on the meat and my wife holds the slices already cut against my knife. That way it looks still like a whole brisket. Once we slice through bout 80% of the brisket we stop and do a pull and taste test on a few slices, if its to our liking, we don't even slice the other one. We vacum pack it for the next comp and just heat it up. JUST KIDDING! :caked: there was actually a top rankin sanctioned team that got caught doing that.
We take it home and use for baked potatoes chopped. If we don't want it, I donate it to our "associate in need" program our store does. Chopped brisket baked potatoes with pickles for $5. Only like 10 of us do it. Hell my dogs don't even like BBQ anymore, they prefer dog food :mad2: so I can't let it go to waste. Here is my score today. Had to finish up my supply for my cookoffs. I hate it when my stash gets low!
Notice I mark the pack date for aging

Look at that marbling! Staight small bones, thick all the way across 3.5-3.75 lbs each. It always helps to tip your butcher that let's you dig through his meats.
Nobody gets the cuts I do from this place. Nobody Said competition was cheap. I leave with the peice of mind that I got the exact product I wanted. We Doug through 11 cases today for those 6 ribs. That's 188 ribs. My boy is good to me. I feel sorry for most that don't have a really good source and really bad for folks that don't live In tx that have to settle for mail order and you get what you get.

Great score of meat indeed. Every single time I visit the grocery store I always look for some nice ribs for comp. purposes. Sometimes I need to visit 2 or 3 stores to get what I need the week or 2 leading up to a comp. It's worth it though.

Briskets were on sale for 1.47 lb so I bought a few for eatin. Turned outing ugh fine. Cooked @300 and wrapped in BP @175 and cooked to 210, let it sleep in the Cambro for 6 hrs, came home for lunch and sliced it. Oh man I goes hard in a southwest hand made tortilla with some jack cheese and eggs. Also gonna make a brisket omelette, one of my favs.

In my opinion cooked brisket on standby is Always a good thing

Jmoney, dude that food looks delicious. I guess I've lived a sheltered life - never had a brisket omelet before. . . .
