    I find texture a major issue as well. Example, too much sirloin in a blend or all sirloin and then screwing up the cook. Not as forgiving. So cooking techniques for sure!

    A lot of chefs make a big deal of what cut they use, or blend of cuts. There are minor differences in the flavor of the proteins around the carcass, but they are minor. The big diff is in the taste of the fats and cooking technique. Brisket makes a fine burger. But % fat is also important, and the age of the fat, and what the animal was fed which alters the fat. I made a great burger once from a very lean rump cut blended with fat trimmed from aged ribeye.

    Link to article.
    Interested in learning how to make world class sausages at home? There are several tricks that apply to almost all sausages. Here’s a good overview with pictures that will guide you through the entire process for making homemade sausage from scratch.

    Not a dumb question at all. In essence it’s a guess on the amount of fat in the lean side. If I feel it’s low, I add fat. I use a digital scale to help with this, super helpful to have one. I think I bought mine on Amazon for $15. Typically if you’re using fatty cuts like chuck, short ribs, brisket etc there’s a pretty good amount of fat already, particularly more if it’s prime compared to choice. It’s not the same, but I learned a lot from Meathead ‘s article on the free side.

    Ground brisket is terrific in chili too.
    Ok, real dumb question. How do you know when you are at 80/20? Do you trim the brisket, make two piles and then go from there?

    My wife came home with a couple of ground brisket half pound patties from a gourmet market so I’ll have to give it a try tomorrow. The.y will go on the Weber kettle.

    Thanks for all the responses!
