Prime brisket....an ongoing tale

Stumbled upon a few prime grade briskets at the local Costco for the first time. Had to grab one at 2.89 since choice here is usually around 3.99 elsewhere. Weighed in just over 16 pounds. Trimmed the hard fat and took the cap to about 1/4 inch. Weighed trimmings at 5.75 of a pound. Definitely more than I'm use to seeing. Gonna roll fat cap down around 250 starting at 1 am mtn time. Will adjust accordingly for an 4pm Sunday dinner. Comments

That's a steal, great find.
5 lbs of trim does sound a bit excessive, best of luck with the smoke. -
It was a thick cap. It's not my first rodeo. I did keep it and foodsavered it for some sausage making.

Good luck brother. Standing by for the finale.

What Part of the country are you in @U_tarded? I wish my Costco would start carrying these. All we have is choice for over $5 a lb.Augusta, GA

southern Utah. 1st I've ever seen them. We were in Hawaii this summer and they had cases of them for about the same price. Sometimes it just doesn't make any sense to me at all with Costco.chrisc133 said:What Part of the country are you in @U_tarded? I wish my Costco would start carrying these.

Off to a great start.

What a great way to enjoy a Sunday. Enjoy the cook and eats.Louisville; Rolling smoke in the neighbourhood. # 38 for the win. Life is too short for light/lite beer! Seems I'm livin in a transitional period.

If y'all have a Costco Business center near you, check there. Ours regularly has prime brisket, while the regular Costco only has choice. Maybe it's a scarcity thing? They can't put prime everywhere?Puyallup, WA, USA, Earth

Thanks guys...had my heart broke a bit last night....the wife asked for a brisket break as this was like the 4th one in 3 months plus a few pastrami experiments. She'll be ready again after the holidays

I hear ya, it's a fine line I walk with mine. I find she is more critical when it's just the two of us eating then when I'm serving for a crowd and people are raving about it. Then she may start to think, "oh, maybe it's just me..."U_tarded said:Thanks guys...had my heart broke a bit last night....the wife asked for a brisket break as this was like the 4th one in 3 months plus a few pastrami experiments.
