Do you have a Costco close? Their prime full packers are pretty good, and priced pretty well. You can always freeze the point if it’s too much, great for chili whenever you get around to it. Packers are so much easier to cook.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you tried one of the Snake River Farms Wagyu packers yet? Bit of a splurge but amazingly good, the cost limits me to about one a year.

It’s 1500lbs in the hoof right now and our quarter is gonna be 240lbs of beef in the paper. I’m stoked to get it Edited May 21, 2020 by f7ben 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll check with the butcher tomorrow to see if he offers the fl brisket when he has it. He gets $6/lb for the brisket. He raises all of his own beef, pork and chicken.

Plan on trying to give it 8-10 hours at 220. Get the temp to 200f 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is wire brushed quick after it gets to 600 degrees. It cast and is seasoned. That grill gets cleaned good when it catches on fire,it’s science. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
