I put about 5" of insulation on the smoker side of mine to keep in the heat on windy and cool days. Would hate to get all that fiberglass water soaked. BTW-the insulation works well-use a lot less wood. Just don't put much over the firebox side-burnt a handle off-rigged up a longer stand off for the handle-got too hot before. |

Their briskets are more expensive than Wal-Mart and always have been. I gladly pay $1.48/lb for brisket when I can't fight the craving any longer. TFM® |

Anybody seen it at lower prices at any large chain > store? It may be obvious but the atkins diet craze seems to be driving the prices of beef up somewhat. I have heard speculation that it could increase the quality of beef you can get also.. I guess via the fact there would be more competition among sellers if everyone wants beef so they would want to have the best. Also if people are going to limit themselves to eating mainly meat then they are probably going to want to do it up right and get good quality. I haven't purchased a brisket yet as I'm not much for cooking in the cold months but spring is here in TX. Cooked a steak and buffalo burgers last week, maybe this weekend I will go buy a brisket to put on and I will see if the price is higher than last years (if I can remember). It's damn cheap at HEB here for a untrimmed brisket.. I wanna say it was under a dollar a pound and I usually get 8-12 lbs. |
