What are folks paying for briskets

[DanMcG]

Trimmed flats at the local store last week were $7.49 a pound........I laughed out loud and kept walkin.

Right next to it were porterhouses for a dollar less

[Walking Dude]

seeing all the replies, and no one asked, "Why buy a flat when a full packer is cheaper?"
I realize you have to trim out the flat but its easy enuff.

[SmokinOutBack]

Anything under 3 bucks is obviously worth it, I'd grab it. Last time I checked at RD here in Jersey it was about $2.75 for full packers 14-18 lbs.
Will be doing one for St. Paddy's day, and will report in a week or so what I find.

$3.22 for cryovaced trimmed Choice flat at Sam's...no packers available Saturday morning.

[IrishChef]

I'm currently in St Louis and saw the local chain Schnuks had CAB trimmed flats for $5.69#

where did you end up picking up your briskets.

I am still in search but have some time, jut gotta get mine by the 9th of march.

I did see some briskets @ Super W-Mart yesterday, wife told me to not bother & just go to one of my butchers and buy a good one...

gotta love it when folks actually listen to what you ramble on about.

Have not picked one up yet, my "projects" are running way behind, slicer in in rehab, sink is in rehab oven is broken...etc.

I will probably end up at RD or something downtown when I have to pick my engine parts up in the next few weeks.

When I get this bacon done I will be ready to roll on the brisket for St Patty's day.

I may call CP over in New Lenox and see what he has coming in.

nice little butcher shop, had some of their brats a couple weeks ago and was impressed.

places like CP, Wurst Kitchen, Ream's, Inboden's, etc., are why I dont bother with making my own sausage.

Called around a little biut for brisket prices, whole untrimmed packer:

CP Meats - New Lennox, IL. $3.19/Lb. - stock

Sages Meat Market - MOrris, IL. $2.69/lb. (24-48 hour notice)

Country Village Meats - Sublette, IL. - $2.99/lb. - stock

Gotta pull the trigger in the next couple days and get the brisket in my super secret and super special aging chamber before I cure it to be ready for the 17th...

lol, sorry..

I am just joking about the aging chamber, kind of a running joke re: a former member and his methods.

buying and curing the briskets im not joking aboot.

[chisoxjim]

Decided to go with CP' s @ $3.19/lb. just under 10 lbs. aging right now, probably cut it in half and get them in the cure by tuesday or weds.
