    Probing the center and fat it's really easy but other parts not so much,

    Personally I'd take it off. Wrap in foil good and tight. Put it in pre warmed cooler with a towel. It's still gonna cook for a bit. It will still be hot in 3 hours

    Holy crap! $6.49 per lb for choice!!!! You can buy almost buy Snake River wagyu for that. Do you have a costco nearby? I bought a Prime CAB packer for $3.67lb yesterday. Even whole foods is less than that here and that is saying something.

    I know the feeling though- when I lived in WI they charged that same for a packer or trimmed flats. They were like $6.99 per lb. I tried to explain to the "butcher" (meat guy at grocery store) that they should not charge me the same because they were trimming 30% of it off and handing it etc. He politely explained to me that they had one button on the scale for brisket and that's the one he he was going to push.

    I would seriously look around though. That is about as high as I have ever heard of. Sams has choice flats. Costco has choice, Prime and CAB prime down here. All under $4. Whole Foods is $5.99 for really nice, fancy choice briskets that are really good. If you like the way this one turns out, shop around and see what you can find out there.



    I have found a 16.81 pound prime brisket at Sam's Club before at $3.87 a pound. I didn't realize it tell I got home. I was just looking for the biggest one they had. That was a nice score.

    You got my full attention when you said oysters. Standing by anxiously.

    I have never cooked a brisket before, but I am going to soon. We have a new butcher shop that just opened over the summer. I just checked with them and a whole choice brisket is $5.49 per pound. 

    My local chain grocery store has flats for $9.98 per pound! The $5.49 per pound sounds expensive to me, but I don't have a choice living in the sticks.

    For those of you near a Costco-check it out for prime brisket on a periodic basis.  The local store gets them in (more frequently this year than in the past) and last week they were running $3.99/lb.  Can't beat that with a stick-BTW the local Kroger has had choice flats for $5.99/lb for the entire year.  FWIW-

    Nice ring, nice bark, nice finger on the left of the frame. ;) I'm sure there's no alcohol involved. Looks like you nailed it. Good day egging all around.
