Hi Brian. Welcome to the pit from Southern Illinois!

Welcome Brian! We're of the same mindset - love science and hate BS.
BTW - here's a link that RonB posted earlier on the science of cooking meat, it's a really good read:

Welcome from Indiana..

Sierraslick - Good info. There have been a number of members here who have not been able to find any in the Bay. For a year I commuted from Chico to Hayward. So CoCo, Marin, San Mateo and and Santa Clara Co folks can drive a few miles if they want one.

[tbob4]

CaptainMike - the ones in Chico are Prime - fatty, as well. They have ranged from $2.29 to $2.99lb. A good amount of trimming is involved. I look for evenness at the bottom. At that price, I don't mind the trimming.

[tbob4]

CaptainMike and Sierraslick - I'm really glad. I was patting myself on the back for getting them here but it looks like it was a corporate decision. I'm still telling my friends I got them in Chico even though I know differently now.

[Sierraslick]

I'm in Alameda. The briskets are readily available at the Costco business store in Hayward. Actually, they have a terrific selection of
nearly everything.

[CaptainMike]

Welcome Brian from the Great State of Jefferson (Mt Shasta). tbob4, I saw some at Costco in Medford earlier this week. They were "choice" and pretty fatty-looking so I passed. I can get prime from a local guy and worth the extra $

Welcome from upstate New York.

[LA Pork Butt]

Welcome to the fun in the Pit!

[fuzzydaddy]

Welcome to the Pit and thanks for the great introduction!

[tbob4]

That's how we got them up here- persistence. It's good to know that they have decided to carry them elsewhere. When word spreads that Sac and Chico have them, maybe members in the Bay and the Southern Central Valley can talk to their managers. Thanks.
