I've been creeping on this site for a good long time now and figured it was about time to make it official. Been bbq'ing for about 15 years, gradually moving from Weber kettle to cheap offset to pellet smoker and recently added vertical offset stick burner.

Thanks for all the great info I've picked up here!

Monroe for me.

Not sure if my fellow Nutmeggers have the same issue but I have a heck of a time finding whole brisket down this way...usually have to head up to Bogner's in Manchester or reach out to a competition bbq friend of mine to piggyback on his Restaurant Depot trip.  Ribs, butts, birds, etc. much easier to get my hands on.

Thanks again all!

Not too hard to get a whole brisket here in Middletown. We have Meadow Meat Co. here in town. They can get anything from a little ole chicken to whole hog or whole cow as well as many different kinds of game meats!

My wife works at cvh in Middletown and will often pick stuff up for me at Meadow Meats. Otherwise, I like Salem prime cuts in Salem.

Fyi-if you didn't know they sell retail, you won't be able to tell from the outside. Very industrial looking building and you basically enter through th walk-in.
