@kl8ton - I'm guessing you have been down that road before and you know there will be left-overs given the richness of the cut.  Well-played.

Wagyu burgers are great!

@kl8ton - Definitely living the "Go big or go home!"  Three things I will offer,  the process is the same as any other brisket cut you have wrestled with.  I doubt it will finish at a lower temperature but I would start to check for the finish-line feel in the low 190's but it likely won't release til the low 200's*F.  It likely will cook faster than your recent experiences, but always remember, "The cow drives the cook."
Be ready for a whole lot of rendered fat.  
You and your guests are in for a true treat.  That's one impressive gift to all who will enjoy!

Thanks for the tips.  They are always welcomed.  I was going to get the SRF Black brisket, but they are sold out of everything that is less than 18 lbs. 

Any noticeable difference for those experienced SRFers?  Black or Gold?

Oh man.  You’re in for a treat.

I am excited.  Arrival date is 12/17.  The eating date is 12/26.  I purchased a Prime brisket at Costco last night too.  It is wet aging.  Might trial run that one as it has been a while since I have cooked one.  That one will turn mostly into the famous brisket chili!

I am not that experienced with the SRF Gold as I only treat myself to that around every 8-10 months.  My observations, the marbling is greater and a richness to the taste and texture is impressive with the Gold.  It brings the meat coma sooner than any other brisket I have had.  However, side by side I would be pressed to tell the difference.  FWIW-

I needed a good base layer and am tired of wearing t-shirts as a base for duck hunting. I always thought Sitka was too expensive, but this was on sale for $20 off so I bought it. A buddy just bought about $600 worth of Sitka gear and loves it so that didn’t help my cause.

Anyhow, this is way better than my under armor stuff. 

I also bought some alpaca socks, those are the warmest socks I’ve ever had!

My buddy just went full bananas on Sitka. Like $2,000. Got everything 25% off Field and Stream Black Friday sale. He absolutely loves it. I got a Browning Hells Canyon set a couple of seasons ago, otherwise I would have bought Sitka as well

Picked up this juicer at a pawn shop for $82 including tax.  Little dirty, haven't cleaned it up yet.  Goes for $350 at Sonoma Williams with a $499 retail price.

How much of a job is it cleaning one of those juicers?

Do you need a certificate to operate it?

I have a 4 year degree in juicing with a certificate approved by the national juicing society and I think I'm current with my  dues and annual refreshment courses.

Geez, $2k is crazy! But if he gets 8-10 years out of it, that could be worth it. Agreed, I'll pick up some more sitka stuff in a couple of years, maybe sooner. I've been eyeing the delta wader jacket, but I would like to get some breathable waders first. Either way it seems sitka gear lives up to the hype.

It has one knob, so I think you are correct.

Debating which size tub I need/want for my Sous vide. 12L or 16L. Then buying one!

I use a 12L the most, but really like my 26 quart container when doing larger proteins and such. It has a lid and 2 racks

I would get the smaller and, if you need to bathe a massive amount, use an ice chest.  I usually use a cheap igloo 45 quart.  The uninsulated containers limit the volume from heat loss, depending on how many watts your heater has.  My Polyscience head has 1100 watts, I think Anova is around 900.  The only time you need to crank up the heat is if you're doing vegetables.
