I went to Costco to grab a brisket yesterday evening & found to my surprise that Prime brisket was only $3.79/pound compared to $3.49 for Choice, so I made the obvious decision. So, in currently 1.5 hours in to what will likely be a long smoke since the brisket is over 15#. Just salt, pepper, a mix of oak & Mesquite lump charcoal and pecan logs. Gonna be a long night on the patio, but I'm perfectly happy to stay out here in 70 degree temperatures with a cooler full of beer.
