The trip to wally world yesterday yielded no select briskets, they had a few briskets that were ungraded and almost $3/lb, stopped by the local grocery store, but all they had was choice briskets. It might be harder to find a select brisket than I imagined.:shock:

ya, Occassionally I am Forced to Buy/Cook Choice.....,.
 
Mine cooked in under 5 hours. I went to wrap at 4.5 and it was jiggling and pretty. My probe is my thermapen. 201 point 205 flat.
It’s wrapped and inside a Walmart camo cooler.

All Walmart All the way. Except Adkins. I Buy that at meat shop. I did add cracked black pepper. Couldn’t help myself.

Invited my 85 year old Mother to help eat it. She’s brutally honest with no mute button. She’s the one while at my table eating her 5th rib that The Rib Crib “has the best ribs I have ever eaten”

Maybe I should stop by the Denison Rib Crib when I pass by on my occasional road trip to Oklahoma. Always thought it was a cool name and need to live up to it.

She’s 85. She needs lots of salt and lots of sugar on her foods.
 
HEB had Prime briskets on sale last weekend for $2.99 a pound, so I got two for the Super Bowl party at the bar. This weekend, they are selling Select (ungraded) for $1.96, so I got one for this contest. Gonna let them wet age until next weekend and we can do a little side by side comparison.

First Picture - Select on top shelf, two Primes on lower shelf
Second picture - Label
Third picture - Wrapper not showing any grading. Just says "Beef Boeuf".
Lower than select???

Welcome. ‘‘Tis fun indeed. May need beer today to watch. And Phil Collins/Genesis. Throw down music.


Is that the Canadian Brisket?? I cooked those several times during the great brisket shortage couple years back.

Edit. I see it. Marked Canada. It did make me crave a donut.

It's my understanding that ranchers pay to have their meat graded, so if the buyer has a deal directly with the rancher on a set price no matter the grade, they can say some money by not having it graded, it just needs to pass USDA inspection? Needless to say, it's usually a poor grade anyway.

Yep, I expect mine and Terry's to totally suck. :heh:

So did you marinate in liquid smoke like it suggested? :)

I'd really appreciate it if you would stop giving away my secrets. I thought we were friends?
