Ordering a Brisket from SRF

@lousubcap I decided to order a SRF brisket a bit later - planning far enough ahead to wet age as you suggested. Taking the advice of @The Cen-Tex Smoker I went to HEB and lookie what I found...I don’t think the guests on Friday will be too disappointed... I also have a pork belly for burnt ends.I’ll post the cook as it happens.Coleman, Texas
Large BGE & Mini Max for the wok. A few old camp Dutch ovens and a wood fired oven. LSG 24” cabinet offset smoker. There are a few paella pans and a Patagonia cross in the barn. A curing chamber for bacterial transformation of meats...
"Bourbon slushies. Sure you can cook on the BGE without them, but why would you?"

@YukonRon I’ll be able to compare the HEB cuts to the quality of the SRF as well. Kind of a win-win to me.Coleman, Texas

@SciAggie really would like to get your observations on that."Knowledge is Good" - Emil Faber

I refuse to further comment on the quality of HEB and all they do for the community. Top-shelf for sure. Give a look at their response to Hurricane Harvey. That's part of why I use their on-line offerings.
Now-with brisket I am totally jealous. But I also get that I could relocate to a HEB parking lot and have at it.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. -

Paging @The Cen-Tex Smoker as he is well versed in cooking HEB and SRF briskets and even parking lot acquisitions.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.

@The Cen-Tex Smoker do you prefer the HEB wagyu over the Prime 1? I seem to remember that there was another brisket HEB sometimes carry that you prefer. I dont think it was the HEB brand.Milton, GA

I stumbled into Harry Soo's Youtube channel where he covered SRF Gold vs Black:

With that said, at the last Sauscutapalooza @The Cen-Tex Smoker cooked us a wagyu brisket on his Karebecue and two people told me "I've had all kinds of competition brisket - none of them are as good as that one your buddy John cooked."
So, I have to wonder.XXL BGE, Karebecue, Klose BYC, Chargiller Akorn Kamado, Weber Smokey Mountain, Grand Turbo gasser, Weber Smoky Joe, and the wheelbarrow that my grandfather used to cook steaks from his cattle

I’m getting excited to cook these things now...
I’m planning on a simple coarse S&P rub and then wrap in butcher paper when the bark looks good. I’m aiming to give them a good 3-4 hour rest FTC. Going to cook with oak splits.Coleman, Texas

@SciAggie - I do not have access to the quality of beef and briskets you are afforded. However, if you want to know what great beef tastes like then you will not be disappointed. At some point (not the brisket one...) you should give SRF a go just so you appreciate true goodness.
I have no affiliation with them. FWIW-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. -
Not to be a pooper here, but I never understood paying prime steak prices for the toughest, coarsest cut on the steer. It's all about the seasoning and the cook. Take a trip to Lockhart, TX and ask the big three if they use Wagyu or any other boutique briskets. They'll just chuckle.Michiana, South of the border.
