PRIME!!!! >>>> AAA

Post if seen (and price) at any local GTA Costcos please not just Etobicoke/Mississauga.

Does the grade make a big difference with a brisket, and when you're slow cooking/smoking it over 12+ hours? I've never paid attention to grade for the briskets I've done, which are usually done in the oven for minimum 14-16 hours. Unfortunately I suck at smoking, I can't keep the fire steady, but I had a nicely smoked one a friend did and as someone else said, it was one of the best things I've ever eaten.

Wonder if Costco is open tomorrow - ie good friday.

Question.... I've never been to Costco Business center. Can you just walk in and buy a single brisket??? I checked online and they only sell by the boxes (25kg which I don't need).

yes. you just need a costco membership. you can buy a single brisket. online store probably doesn't want to bother with delivery of a single unit.

Spotted in Winnipeg a few weeks ago. They had 8-10 big briskets out

Prime or AAA id just be happy if QC costcos offerred brisket... PERIOD!

otherwise im paying 7-8$ a lb for probably what is AA at the local butchers. Outrageous!

As I posted earlier I don't smoke them, I just do them in the oven for 14-16 hours. It's a completely different result, but still good. Same with pork shoulders, both are an easy way to make a good main that feeds a lot of people. Sometimes I only dry rub them similar to how you would when smoking. Other times I do them more like a traditional "roast" where in addition to seasoning I also add in onions, carrots, celery, etc., some on top with toothpicks to make sure they stay on top and let flavour goes down through slowly. Sometimes I also stab the meat with a small knife and force cloves of garlic in. I may or may not also drizzle oil over the veggies, you really can't mess them up, as I said easy as long as you can dedicate your oven for that many hours, very good, and feeds a lot of people.

Slow cooker I imagine the result is very similar to an oven. My sister does pork shoulders in a slow cooker, I don't like the way she flavours/sauces it but the meat is nice.

But a properly smoked brisket or pork shoulder, omg it's so good .

Oh an oven tip if anyone is trying for the first time, I discovered that my oven automatically shuts off after 12 hours.
