Buying a brisket ?

the RD superior brand is just RD's house brand. I would not assume it to be prime grade. My hunch is it is choice grade. If it is prime grade, I'm thinking RD would have that in big bold letters on the package. t

I bought my first "packer" brisket last week. It said "USDA" Choice. It had the thick fat cap and was 12 pounds. It was my first one on the egg. I made two Texans at work cry and two other Texans gave a North Carolina boy between A- and A on the brisket.

I put it in a pan and soaked overnight in 2 liters of regular coke. I patted it dry. Rubbed with a mix of salt, coarse cracked pepper, and red crushed pepper. Light on the red pepper. Rub had a few teaspoons of garlic powder and turbinado sugar. I smoked it for 7 hours over oak and hickory chunks. I cut up an oak log into chunks and layered the lump with smoke wood in alternate layers. I put the plate setter with legs up and an drip pan to catch drippings. I mopped hourly with a mix of dark Yuengling Porter beer, stick of butter and cajun seasoning. At 165 I wrapped it with two layers of foil and left another four hours. THen wrapped in pool towels and into the cooler for two more hours and it was the most tender piece of meat and juicy too. No dryness at all.
