I was in Costco today and they had Prime briskets for $3.99/lb. I'm not familiar with the "normal" price but that seemed like a deal to me. A 15lb prime brisket for $60 was just too good to turn down, given today’s meat prices. So I picked out one with the thickest tip I could find (without disturbing the whole display). In the past, I've had good luck with Butcher BBW Original Brisket Injection. Anyone have any other recommendations?

That is still a good deal if you ask me, I'm surprised they haven't gone up more with recent increases. When Prime brisket is cheaper than ground beef things are ok. For the injection I cannot help, not my thing.

Large Big Green Egg, Weber Performer Deluxe, Weber Smokey Joe Silver, Fireboard Drive, 3 DigiQs, lots of Thermapens, and too much other stuff to mention.
I used that injection, and it was fine. The last couple, I didn’t use any injection. They were excellent.

Honestly, I think a dry brine is more important than injection. I've used most out there! Can't dry brine at a contest.

I used Meathead's beef brine on my last brisket, and thought it helped significantly. I'd previously cooked bought several (uninjected) briskets from the same butcher, and this one was by far the most moist and tender. https://amazingribs.com/tested-recip...r-deep/#recipeLast edited by JHB; August 24, 2022, 03:16 PM.
