Good price for sure. I just bought a 14# SRF Black American Wagyu brisket from my local HEB for about $90 so I'm good at the moment. That would be a good holiday offering but I gotta go Prime Rib. Been dying to do one !!

I bet everyone’s prime rib "turkeys" photos posted here on T-Day got to you? 😜

I've got a 7 lb, 3 bone rib roast for Christmas Dinner. This brisket is for next weekend. And I said what the heck, and ordered a pack of the Cowboy ribeyes, too.

[ecowper]

That's a heckuva price for American Wagyu, by the way

[bbqLuv]

Competition Grade? is that hand-selected prime or better.

And the difference is shape and trim, not meat quality.

Prime brisket from Creekstone arrived today. They said it would be about 12 lbs. This sucker is 18.5 lbs of prime beefy goodness. Will be cooking it come Sunday as long as it defrosts in time ...... also got 2 Tomahawk ribeyes with it just for the heck of it.

Creekstone unboxing day is the best!

[ecowper]

jhapka they shipped frozen. I was a bit concerned as well, but now I’m worried about whether it defrosts in time for this weekend.

[ecowper]

Jfrosty27 That brisket is huge! They said 12 lbs. My scale says 18.5 lbs

[Mosca]

WOW.

It will defrost quickly if you fill the sink with water and put it in there, still vac-packed of course.

[jhapka]

Just got my brisket. 16.9 lbs. and has a nice thick flat beef ribs look great too.

[ecowper]

Awesome!

Cooking that brisket today into the early morning. Then will wrap and take to where the Hanukkah gathering is and hold in an oven at 170. Running the WSM at about 240F. The brisket, after trimming, is about 14.5 lbs.


Brisket is trimmed and I am about to salt and dry brine


Fire is lit up and I’m going to assemble the WSM .... Red oak for the smoke


Brisket prepped with my top secret rub of pepper, onion powder, garlic


On the WSM, about an hour into the cook

[Mosca]

How long do you plan on running it? What temp?

[ecowper]

Running at about 240 and figure about 14 hours

Mine was due yesterday via Fedex. Never showed up. This am got an email from Creekstone that it's on truck for delivery today. End of day and did not arrive. Fedex tracking number now says can't find. I've ordered from SRF and others and am finding Fedex to be nearly always later than they say. Lots of spoiled food as a result. Don't know how the meat stores can make money with such unreliable deliveries.

[ecowper]

Wow, crazy .... I’ve not had a problem with Creekstone or SRF being delivered on time.

[Jfrosty27]

FedEx has really gone down the tubes. I have had many issues with late delivery with them.

[ecowper]

Brisket is looking good so far. Very stalled, sitting at 160F +/-. Figure that won’t change much for another couple hours.

[Mr. Bones]

Ride dat pony, Cowboy!

[ecowper]

Final outcome, now just have to re-warm today for the eating .... taking to the Hanukkah celebration at buddies house (the Costco meat buyer). He’s doing all the rest of the food.
