I have been spending a lot of time in Alabama. The pork BBQ is ok but it isn't brisket. And you can't find brisket here. Not at the grocery store, not at restaurants.
So I was estatic when I went into Costco and saw that they had prime briskets. I couldn't believe it so I asked the guy if this was something they were going to continue to carry. He said it was so I went out and bought an akorn and a controller.
Did a pork butt this week to see that I had everything working right and went back last night to buy a brisket
Look in the meat counter and there's not a single brisket to be seen just a whole bunch of trimed Flats. So I asked the guy hey where are the briskets?
He points to the trimed flats and says right there.
No man I mean the full Packer brisket you had last week.
What do you mean these are full packages of brisket.
No I mean the big full Packer briskets.
Right. these are big 5lb packages of brisket. We have 4 more boxes in the back just like these and that's the only kind of brisket we have ever carried.
So now I have a smoker I have zero interest in using.
I'm half tempted to go back and buy Costco's fake Big Green Egg use it one time and return it just out of spite
