I read on here some time ago that the when buying a whole packer brisket you are getting the point for free. I was able to do a side by side comparison yesterday that proved that theorem to be essentially true. Was at my local Costco (50 miles away) yesterday and was admiring the nice, large selection of prime whole packers being offered at $2.99/lb. Then, next to the packers, I found a lone prime flat. I had not seen a flat only cut offered at this store before. The flat was 4.25 lbs. @ $8.59/lb., so its total price was $36.51. Next to the flat, a 13.5 lb. whole packer could be had for $40.37. Why would anyone buy a flat only to smoke?
I also picked up a small (4.34 lb., 2 ribs) prime rib roast. It will make a delicious Christmas feast for the group of 4 adults I will be celebrating Christmas dinner with. I appreciate the cooking tips offered by Mosca and emil.glatz in the earlier "Christmas Prime Rib" thread.
