Costco for the win!

I went by Costco to get a couple of things and they had their meat and seafood roadshow going for Father's Day. I was shocked when I saw several of these in the meat case! The price wasn't bad compared to online. I've never cooked a wagyu brisket before. Is there any difference from cooking prime I should know about?

It'll cook faster than you think. Start probing for doneness at 185ish.

They usually are done faster and at a lower temperature (190s).

@Smokin_Good Brent cooked one at Butt Blast this year with OakRidge BlackOps on it. He was prepping it around 8am and we were serving it for dinner. Baffled me.
John and him both said I would be blown away by how much faster they cooked due to the way the fat is in them.
Im sure some solid cooks with deep pockets will be along soon. (Really should have finished law school)"Brought to you by bourbon, bacon, and a series of questionable life decisions."

That is pretty awesome to discover at Costco. Prepare for your view of brisket to change dramatically.
And yeah, they cook faster for sure."I've made a note never to piss you two off." - Stike -

They had probably 8 out. They guy behind the counter said he sold 15 already. I'm not sure if they had more in the back.DMW said:Nice find! Which Costco is this and how many did they have?XL BGE, Medium BGE, 36" Blackstone, UDS, Red Weber Kettle & LSG Large IVS

I don't know that they cook that much faster given the way the cow drives the cook but as above, start checking earlier however don't be surprised if it doesn't release til the low 200's *F. Also be ready for more fat renderings.
Prep and trim just like any other brisket. FWIW-
Off to Costco.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. -
I’m no expert but they do finish fast. I start probing at 185 and I’ve pulled at 202. As Cap has stated the cow drives the cook. Probing like butter is your endpoint. Have fun!Sandy Springs & Dawsonville Ga

Half of them at my Costco were $4.29 lb. I bought them all. I have 8. Lots left at $4.99 though

My Costco said this was a test run to see if they should carry them year round. They are flying out the door. He said they are hoping to carry the full SRF line, including primals and individual steaks very soon!Keepin' It Weird in The ATX FBTX

The guy at the one I went to said the same thing about being a test. He didn't say anything about possibly caring the whole line. That would be awesome!XL BGE, Medium BGE, 36" Blackstone, UDS, Red Weber Kettle & LSG Large IVS

That’s a lot of shoe leather. Killer score.

Funny. They had all the SRF labels turned down to show the price sticker on the back. Price label just says “commodity wagyu brisket”. If you did t know what you were looking for you would never find them.Keepin' It Weird in The ATX FBTX

Should have opted for the prime rib...------------------------------

You just spent (by my estimation) $500 for Briskets? I'm in the wrong business.Rockwall, Tx LBGE, Minimax, 22" Blackstone, Pizza Party Bollore. Cast Iron Hoarder.
