Just read in this morning’s local paper that Costco will be opening a location up the road in Kyle soon. May give HEB some competition for meat sales with me. I usually go to HEB in new Braunfels for my smoking meat, but if you wait til the weekend it’s slim pickings. Costco meat doesn't go on sale, pork is also higher there. The only thing that I have really paid attention to is the price of Prime briskets. They do run cheaper at Costco than they do at HEB. I can't speak for other cuts of meat because I don't buy beef in bulk. We get the packaged chicken thighs and tenders which are cheaper than HEB. But don' think Costco has these crazy meat sales, it's all the frozen and dry goods that you get the good deals on. Thanks for the tip Herbie!

I bought some beef tallow to use on my last brisket but ended up making some from the trimmings and poured it on the paper and meat when I wrapped. The final product was really good and very moist but I've perfected my method and can repeat it pretty consistently. I only cook Prime briskets. If I'm spending that much time, it's worth a few extra bucks on quality meat.
I've tried injecting a brisket with my seasoning in beef broth, didn't seem to do much. I don't think I would try injecting tallow. May slather tallow on the meat as a binder.

When I wrap with butcher paper, the paper becomes saturated with the rendered fat from the brisket itself. Just wondering how the extra tallow added adds to the final result.

All I know is the last prime brisket I smoked came out fantastic. Hoping I can duplicate it next time. But every piece of meat is different.

Sir, when you get a chance...if you think of it.
Please give Hudson a hug from the Mize family. Will do! He's a hugger.

Im just fine with how a well put together packer from HEB comes out. Doubt I will ever mess with any of the other. This

When can we get a THF brisket Compton going? Sounds like it would be tough competition.
