Me thinks my family will be tired of brisket this summer.....

Just talked with my butcher - prices are 2.99/ lb and should stay that way for most of the summer.  He verified they are full packers, I wish I could remember the grade (he had one in the case).  What I like is that it usually is local beef and he will also trim it for me if I call ahead (price goes up though if he trims it).

Personally, I love having a Mennonite butcher within minutes of the house - we can get local meat reasonably prices.  My wife buys her chicken breasts by the case at .99/ lb and usually splits it with a few families (40lb of chicken is a lot!).

Later all and good smoking!

Where do you live? anywhere near Ohio?  can't get near them prices..and we used to get 80 - 100#'s of chicken at a time..geezz.  Lots of chicken farms around here. .☆´¯`•.¸¸. ི♥ྀ.

I do not think it is possible to get tired of brisket.............as long as pork butts and ribs are thrown in between the brisket cooks

Actually, we are in Maryland but originally from the Akron Ohio area.  Funny thing is, we will be in the Gallipolis area around Labor Day ( my inlaws are having their 50th anniversary that weekend and it is the family reunion)

It is possible that it is select, but hey - I am just learning how to cook it so if I screw it up I am only out 25$ or so... I may do them with an occasional picnic cut on the TBE instead just to break it up.
