Brisket from Walmart. Any good?

[rbgilbert2]

New to the forum.  I just bought my first brisket, a 6 pounder from Costco.  It seems to be about 1.5 inches thick throughout; is this likely just the flat?  Any differences in cooking this?

Hello RBGilbert2!

Would you mind swinging by Roll Call and introducing yourself so we can give you a proper SMF Welcome? 

Sounds like a flat. Just going to have to keep an eye on it since it is smaller. Is there much fat on it? That will help to keep it moist, if not you might want to consider some bacon strips on top of it.

I just smoked a 8 # brisket from Walmart, it was great. Took 10 - 12 hrs with over nite in the oven @ 225 dgr.

Used my home made rub.

Sam's club is the membership version of Walmart. Sam Walton of Walmart fame is the Sam in Sam's club. ;)

Thanks for clarifying, Joe. I just assumed since they were owned by the same company their stuff all came from the same place.
