It was amazing

Too much fat

Excellent, slow smoked

Excellent quality meat!!

Great piece of brisket

Very good meat, tender

I purchased a 16 lb whole prime brisket this week. I've trimmed a LOT of whole briskets in my life and have never come close to the amount of fat this one had. The entire point end was solid fat/NO meat, and the flat end was probably close to normal. After trimming appropriately (leaving enough fat for flavor while smoking), I bagged everything and weighed it. I ended up with 113 ounces of pure fat from this brisket. That is 7 full pounds - so i ended up with 9 pounds of trimmed brisket. Nowhere near acceptable. It should have been closer to a 25%/75% ratios of fat to meat..

Great value

DELICIOUS

I can buy local wagyu, better than prime at $10.30 per pound. It is trimmed so well I can throw it straight on the smoker. The Sam's prime brisket I bought was 23.6 pounds. After trimming, it was 10.75lbs and my offset smoker still didn't render all the fat after a 14 hour cook (I should have taken another pound off lol). At face value, it's a good price, but the price of the usable meat is well over what higher quality options go for. Trim your briskets Sam's!
