I guess I only noticed the headline, not the topic. My mom used to say reading is required, guess that still applies. Sorry about kind of hijacking the thread

I was talking to my son about this topic. He swears by a vendor called Meat Artisan. I have never tried them myself, have had their meat at his house. It was excellent.

I need to give a shout out to A bar N Ranch. I learned of these folks from a post by Troutman a while ago. I bought a load of stuff from them a few months ago and did these boneless ribeyes tonight. They were huge! About 1.2 lbs each. Simply amazing. I forgot to take a picture of the finished product so sorry about that. Like butter. So good. Try them. Everything I have tried from them has been terrific.

Not BBQ, but D’Artagnan (https://www.dartagnan.com) ..... great premium foods for gourmet enthusiasts, especially French foods.
Totally agree with Snake River, Creekstone, and Rancho Gordo as well.
If your butcher happens to source from Painted Hills, you can’t go wrong with that either. You can order from them online, but I never have since my local butcher carries it. https://natural-beef.com
Most recent delivery from Creekstone .... supposedly a 12 lb Prime brisket, although it’s more like 18 lbs

I’ve ordered from Broken Arrow Ranch and the quality of their game meat was pretty solid.
I cannot recommend Crowd Cow after the condition of the chicken I order from them - both legs and both thighs, the bones were shattered and they were inedible because of that.
For equipment, Thermoworks, SnS Grills, and FireBoard have all been solid, with good quality, on time delivery, and good customer service.
Sitka Salmon Shares wasn’t mentioned, but they are fantastic. The one time I had an issue (box arrived completely thawed due to UPS), they sent me a new order immediately.
As others have mentioned, Creekstone and SRF are really good online butchers.
I like Spice Jungle for high quality spices and hard to get stuff.

I see A bar N is sold out. Has anyone had C5 Ranch Click Akaushi, what's your experience? I've been using Wildfork, had a few hiccups, but they have always quickly taken care of problems. I also like paying a price per pound, instead of a flat price per piece, especially when the size varies between several pieces of the same item.

wrgilb ,
Lots of good experiences with Click here. Speaking for myself, the meats arrived perfectly frozen, but underweight. Click sent me a surprise order of a second teres major and bavette for free, so definitely some great customer service. I plan to order from them again at some point, and probably will get another brisket and some chuck beef ribs, as well as some of the teres major/bavette if we like it.
Thanks to Troutman 's active support and informative posts, I bought some Akaushi beef. With Costco prices for prime near $100 bucks, it seemed like a good investment, especially as I did not have any briskets in the freezer. In other words, same boat as ecowper 's recent SRF order. I ran some quick math, and SRF pricing was
So, I had a little surprise yesterday when a package showed up on my porch. It was my order from Click Akaushi Beef. Yes, the same order that also showed up last week. I checked my credit card, and the Click website and there was only one order, and one charge to my credit card. I reached out to Click via there website, and in
Since I introduced Akaushi beef here in the Pit, I thought I’d report on my overall impression of the meat now that I’ve cooked some. For those who may have missed my post, Akaushi is a type of Japanese cow (Wagyu) that is smaller in stature, brown in color and the most prized among the Japanese breeds. The famous Kobe
