Just smoked 6 briskets for my son's graduation party. Everyone left with meat sweats. barely anything left. Have purchased several briskets and everyone has been awesome. Will continue to buy meat from Sam's.

Sam’s shouldn’t sell brisket. The underside of the pkg. hid the fact that there was a thick layer of fat all along the brisket. I couldn’t even cut the fat off the meat before planning on cooking it. I returned it. A day or two later I want to a grocery store to buy a brisket. Buying from Sam’s would have caused the price of brisket more expensive after factoring in what the cost of the fat would have mounted to.

I got an 18 pound brisket for a great price, $2.50/pound. I used curbside pickup so I didn’t choose it myself. But I was shocked at how much fat was on this piece. I don’t mean marbling, I mean big hunks of solid white fat, up to 4 inches thick. After I trimmed the big chunks of fat off, I only had 12 pounds of brisket, and that was still quite fatty. That means I threw away 6 pounds of solid fat! It made great pastrami, but it was a lot of work to cut off all the excess fat.

Great cut of beef that was well marbled!

Best brisket we've ever had

It was a great slab of meat to smoke

Pretty good for not being prime, took some trimming

these pieces of brisket contained a lot of fat

Great piece of brisket. Lean by comparison.

both cuts cooked up nicely and were very tender
