    First online purchase for myself.

    I’m wanting to buy a higher grade brisket, then what I get locally. The company I seem to be most familiar is Snake River farms. I think I saw a black grade for 139.00? Are there other places I should consider?

    Porter Road and Alpine Butcher.

      If you want wagyu , you can consider Click. There is a 10% off coupon over in Member deals. Plenty of reviews here. I made one myself and it was very good.

      It is also 30% off though you pay shipping.

      I have a Porter Road brisket in the freezer though they are out of stock at the moment. Everything has been amazing from Porter Road though. Easy enough to find 10% off coupons.

      Trimmed brisket:

      Untrimmed:

      Creekstone also has very famous brisket that is popular here and these are used by Aaron Franklin. Expensive!

      As near as I can tell, Porter Road dry ages all of their beef. Creekstone does not. However, Creekstone gets its meat graded (Black Angus, Duroc, Prime etc) while Porter Road relies more on its processes to deliver high quality meat.

      Edit: Porter Road usually get things back in stock in a day or two in my experience.

        Although I have never ordered from them myself, my son uses meatartisan.com when he wants to step up to the good stuff. I have had the pleasure of eating their meats at his home several times and they are pricey but exceptional.

          Agree with the Click recommendation. I have one in the freezer now. Everything I have received from them has been good. Bummer about the shipping, though. While I have not tried their brisket alderspring Ranch has not disappointed. And if you are a high roller, Stemple creek for the win.

            I'll have to give Stemple Creek a try. Only about 70 miles from me so shipping shouldn't be bad.
            Thanks

          Porter Road is my go to. On my last order it showed up 2 days after I put the order in. Everything was still frozen solid, and the quality is top notch.

            I have a Click brisket in the freezer right now. I smoked one back in April and ordered this one when they had a recent sale.

            Everything I’ve ever ordered from Porter Road has been excellent.

              With the 30% sale plus the 10% members discount on the sale price, I'd go with Click. My most recent brisket was from them, and it was one of the best I have ever made.

                I had no idea I was going to want a Click brisket when I woke up today, but here I am with one in my cart right now.

              My only fear is once I buy Wague I won't like Costco brisket.

                Definitely a risk!

                What is that? Is that a brisket flat? Definitely well marbled, but looks exceptionally even in thickness from one end to the other. Most of the ones I've seen taper heavily at one end.

                Yes, it's a flat. Look at how thick it is! This is not a brisket I cooked. Buddy was showing off his knife skills. These are the briskets I buy and I'll trim up, cut in half and use for 2 contests. They will ship fresh. On par with SRF for price, better than Gold.

              I’ve had SRF briskets, RR Ranch, Black, and Gold. Black is the sweet spot for them.

              The absolute best brisket I’ve ever cooked was a USDA Prime from Creekstone.

                Richard Chrz after my recent experience with having to toss about 1/3 of the meat in an order from Click, due to insufficient ice for a shipment that I got back around Easter, I would be afraid to order from them in summer unless you know you will get it in 1-2 days max. My order got here a day late, and several items in the top of the box were pushing 50 degrees and got tossed. They refunded those items, but still, I hated to toss meat.

                I've had good experience with Porter Road, and they are physically closer to you than some of the others, so shipping may be faster from Kentucky to Wisconsin.

                  I have been using Creekstone when they have sales. Been very happy with the quality of the prime briskets (prime tri tips too) and the delivery process here in central FL.
