DIY Beef tallow - Wagyu Brisket

So I think we've all slowed down on smoking brisket (with the shortage and pricing rollercoaster) but I scored a Wagyu Brisket locally for the 4th (see another thread). I decided to give making my own beef tallow a try since the fat quality is so good. 100% amazing result and I highly recommend if you haven't already.  Tallow is AMAZING for searing steaks, frying french fries or anything else for that matter or even making biscuits. Anyone else do this??

    No comment on the tallow but that brisket is an impressive looking cut right there.  I've gotta find the other thread.  
    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’ve not made tallow but a few years back we raised two Duroc hogs and I made lard with some of the fat. It was great. I made several jars and froze it. I made it in a crockpot on low.
    your tallow looks awesome.

    It’s the only beef fat I save.
