Hi,

I'd like to try smoking a brisket
this weekend in my WSM.

I'm located in the South Bay Area
(in California). Can someone tell me
where I can purchase a brisket (around
10lbs.)? Would Costco have this?
Is there a good recommendation for
a butcher? I live in Santa Clara.

Thanks very much in advance,

Norm

Try to get a full packer cut brisket. Those trimmed down jobbies just dont
cook as well as those with both the tip and the flat intact. That slab of
fat, although a little off putting, trims off easily and makes the
attachments more yummy.

Try Smart and Final (various locations) or Cash and Carry on San Carlos
between 880 and Meridian Avenue in San Jose. Costco in SF Bay Area does not
seem to carry brisket

A good butcher is Cosentino's Market in
Santa Clara. They are likely to charge you
a very hefty price for a 10 lb. brisket. A
better deal is Smart and Final / Cash and
Carry, as suggested by others:

www.smartandfinal.com

S&F / C&C (same company) is a good source of
many other WSM supplies, including cuts of beef
and pork, mesquite lump charcoal, and all kinds of
containers for brining and marinating.
