Hello from the UK. Brisket is so expensive over here... :(

Welcome to the Pit from Baltimore, Maryland! We’re glad you joined us.

Expensive brisket = pressure to perform = high performance. That's what I tell myself, anyway. Welcome to the Pit!

Cheap cuts of meat mean that if I don’t pull of the best BBQ ever, everyone understands :-)

If only it worked that way. Once the bar has been set it can only go up. My wife and kids are there for me to give brutally honest feedback. I know better than to cut corners with them around. 😀

Oh, I wish it was that easy ;-)

I lived in the UK for a few years, it's still gonna be expensive but maybe make friends with someone on one of the US bases Otherwise if you live anywhere close to Huntingdon, Johnsons of Old Hurst has a fantastic selection of exotic meats. Sometimes at a fair price, sometimes not.

Thanks! I live is Surrey so that would mean quite a road trip.

Are you saying I can get a USDA Prime brisket smuggled to the UK? That would be awesome!

I was considering going to Smithfields market in London. Apparently you can get a bargain there.

Pawel, have you tried Turner and George? They do brisket that seems quite reasonably priced for the size and they deliver for free. https://www.turnerandgeorge.co.uk/pa...t-brisket.html

Not smuggled, bought from the base to share Used to do ribeyes for the village every now and then and got a few free pints at the pub and good conversation in return
