Was at Costco and the butcher happened to be out so I started talking to him about the brisket. Told him the ones they had out had nearly no fat and that for smoking I needed some fat. He told me he could sell me an untrimmed cryo vacced brisket, AND it would be cheaper. It was $5.69/lb trimmed in a stryrofoam package, untrimmed cryo vacced was $4.19/lb!

Good tip. I always ask the butcher, not matter where I am shopping how much the UN-cut price is on whatever meat I am buying. You'd also be surprised what cuts they have in the back that they don't put out in the display. Make good friends with your favorite shopping stores butcher! I even take mine samples of what I've made!

No Cash and Carrys around here, HEB, Wal-Mart and a few other local stores. Most typically have select grade briskets for $2.18, with the occasional sale of $1.99 or so. Angus choice will usually run about $4.50 per pound.

That must explain the difference in prices between Costco and the cheaper places, Costco sells choice waly world sells select. Was wondering why such a price difference.

I need some corned beef for corned beef and cabbage for St. Paddy day and I have been wanting to try pastrami. Sounds like a trip to Cash and Carry this week. As far as freezing some for future use, would you freeze it as is or rinse it and then freeze it? Either way it will be vacuum sealed.

I would freeze as is. Should be fine.

Sounds like there is a lull in regular brisket prices, maybe due to corned beef popularity this time of year. Who knows, but I'll be looking this weekend for sure.

OK I need some help. I bought the untrimmed brisket from Costco, I mixed up bilbos rub and then I fell asleep. My wife sweetheart that she is dry rubbed the brisket for me that I planned on smoking when I get home from work today. I did not get to take it out of the cryovac and check the bottom for silver skin,my wife did not know this needed to be done.. Does anyone with experience with the Costco untrimmed brisket know if it usually has this on it? Should I just clean off the bottom and inspect it when I get home? This will be my first smoked brisket, and also my first smoke on my new vision kamado from Costco.

If there was silver skin on mine I certainly didn't remove it, but I don't think there was. I would just proceed as normal and not wipe off the dry rub.

I spoke to my wife and she said there was nothing like that on it so I left it alone. She really did I nice job on the rub.thanks for the response and the price tip.
