Brisket

I live in Ocala, Florida and I have a hard time finding quality whole brisket. Does anyone know of a reputable online seller that I could go through to purchase whole brisket? I have searched and realize there are numerous sellers; however, I was hoping to get some first hand advise from members who have actually purchased from online sellers. Thank you and happy egging.

    Snake river farms. Expensive but worth it.
    Be careful, man! I've got a beverage here.

    Check with your local supermarkets or meat specialty shops and see if they will order you some.  I looked at your locations, but don't see any Restaurant Depot stores near by.  Have you checked at Walmart Super Stores?  They all carry Briskets around here and yours might be able to order it for you.

    +1 with @Shiff-also your local Costco may get packers in and when they do they are prime cut (at least around here) for around $4+ /lb.  (Haven't seen any lately and I'm sure the price has moved higher).  Not SRF but definitely  one you can enjoy.  FWIW-

    Thank you all for the information. I have been egging since May of this year and I am past ready to tackle a brisket. I am sure it will be a learning experience but I am looking forward to doing my first one on the egg.

    I'm in Jacksonville and can't find anything other than choice cut, if that. Very few packers as well.
