Grisly and super chewy even after smoking/slow cooking for 10-12 hours

About 1/3rd was fat. Not trimmed very well.

15 pounds is what I paid for, over 8 pounds of fat trimmed off. Cost me twice what I would pay at my local butcher.

I understand prices have increased because of Covid, and I was willing to pay the $5.60 lb for a Memorial Day cook. VERY little marbling that resulted in less than satisfying results.

I bought a case of these. They have to be trimmed quite a bit even though it says trimmed. Once you do that, I smoked mine for 18 hours, and I always get rave reviews. Low and slow is always the ticket for a brisket.

Normally when I buy meats at sams, you have a couple of days or a week-sometimes more so i didn't even think to check the date at the time. But 3 days later, I go to pull it out to prepare it for the next day and see that it was past its USE or Freeze by date WHEN I bought it. I bought it on Oct 30 and it was dated for Oct 29th.It was like Nov 2/3 when I when to cook it. I took a pic of the label but I doubt sams does anything to make good on this.

One third is fat. Not worth the hassle of separating meat from fat. Waste.

Way too fatty and tough!

EXCELLENT!

Super fatty
