I purchased three of these briskets and all three of them did not disappoint. They smoked incredibly well. People gripe about having to cut off the fat, but they are just familiar with packer trim and the process that you have to go through to cook a brisket correctly. I was very satisfied that the trim was really not that excessive. The meat itself was incredibly tender. You can tell a real difference between Prime and Choice. It was well the small difference in price for the Prime. I will not go back to Choice when the price difference is that minimal. It does make a difference. The only thing I didn't like is that I ordered these online for pick-up so I didnt' get to pick them out. It really doesn't matter except for picking out the size. I was just making sure I got three because of the event that I was cooking for at that time. Again, all three cooked beautifully on my Traeger pellet grill. 12 hours or so and I only touched them when I pulled them off. Everyone at event raved about how great they tasted. Sam's pricing was cheaper than restaurant suppliers, so I will be going to Sam's when I need a brisket.

Just got done with a 16 hour cook on a prime packer. Kept trimming to a minimum, but there was excessive marbling. While important to keep everything tender during low and slow, there was a lot of trimming of the point when done. For nearly $100 piece of prime meat, I should have seen good marbling with more meat in the point. However, it was delicious as always!

The packing plant wrecked the two prime briskets I purchased recently. The worst I've seen for packer briskets. The flats are very thin which means more aggressive trim and lower yeild. Huge gash in the point that effected the end product. Very disappointed in this product.

Trimmed it out, seasoned and smoked for 8 hours. Then sous vide for 72 hours at 140 degrees. After that, separate the flat and point and cut point into 1 inch cubes. Wrap flat in foil and keep warm. Toss in barbecue sauce and smoke at 350 degrees for 1 hour. Slice flat and serve cubed point for rave reviews 😊

Every now and then the meat department puts a few whole packers graded "prime" out in the meat coolers. They are generally smaller in weight than the "choice" briskets and that suites me fine because, even after trimming the bigger briskets are a lot for my small family. The prime briskets are better marbled and even though a dollar more per pound are still less expensive because they are typically 10 to 12 pounds in weight.

I enjoyed the marbling on this brisket. The price was a little high to my liking, and the point to flat balance was off (im not a big fan of flat dominated briskets). Overall this brisket cooked pretty good, I would pull it at 195 as my flat was slightly too overcooked for my liking.

OOOOOOH! We passed on turkey and ham this year and went for the brisket. DO IT! We let the brisket marinade for a couple of days in the fridge and then threw it on the smoker for a few hours. Absolutely delicious flavor. We are never disappointed by our meat purchases at Sam's Club.

The meat was clean and tender and in perfect condition. All my family loved it

Excellent brisket. Made our Christmas dinner memorable

Was tough and not a tender piece of meat.
