    USDA Prime brisket at Sam's 2.58/lb

    Sam's Club has a few USDA Prime briskets in the lineup. Choice was 2.48/lb and Prime was 2.58. No brainer. Mine had 3 Prime and a half dozen or so Choice.

      Good move Spinaker ...👍 While you're there ask him if he can give Pit members a special discount off of the $2.99 price if you can get them to buy 250,000 pounds over a 1 year period. I bet his eyes get real big.🤑

      Just an FYI. I was at Sam's again today and they had a bunch of Prime and Choice briskets. Still at 2.58 for Prime and 2.48 for Choice. Wondering if this is their regular price. Talked with a coworker and he said one downside to Sam's briskets was how the butchers handle the meat and you can end up with a meat hook in your brisket. He mentioned when you rub the hole can fill up with rub and you get a rather salty, full flavor bite on occasion. Something to keep and eye on when prepping.

      If you have a Weber Kettle, you need the Slow 'N' Sear

      The Good-One Is A Superb Grill And A Superb Smoker All In One

      the good one grill
      The Good-One Open Range is dramatically different from a traditional offset smoker. By placing the heat source behind and under the smokebox instead of off to the side, Open Range produces even temperature from left to right, something almost impossible to achieve with a standard barrel shaped offset.

      Griddle And Deep Fryer In One

      Pit Barrel Cooker Smoker
      The flat top does the burgers and the fryer does the fries. Use the griddle for bacon, eggs, and home fries. Or pancakes, fajitas, grilled cheese, you name it. Why stink up the house deep frying and spatter all over? Do your fried chicken and calamari outside. Blackstone's Rangetop Combo With Deep Fryer does it all!

      The Pit Barrel Cooker May Be Too Easy

      Pit Barrel Cooker Smoker
      The PBC has a rabid cult following for good reason. It is absolutely positively without a doubt the best bargain on a smoker in the world. Period. This baby will cook circles around the cheap offset sideways barrel smokers because temperature control is so much easier.

      The Cool Kettle With The Hinged Hood We Always Wanted
