I bought this flat (and another, and some butts, and some ribs) the last time I went to Costco back in April when I didn't have to wear a useless mask. I have one more day size job next week and I'm done with work until I feel like doing more, maybe February. cooking this other flat has been on my radar for a few weeks, but I've been busier than a coon with two dicks for the last month or so. need to make some room in the freezer, so one more smoke before I disappear into the landscape for a couple of months. My Dad really likes my brisket, and gave me the immersion circulator as a gift, so I'll invite the folks up for dinner and some handgun shooting on Sunday. it's the most wonderful time of the year. I'm cooking brisket and going bow hunting.
really nice brisket flat ready for a long, hot bath for 50 hours. chill it off and finish it on Sunday. nothing but coarse sea salt and coarsely cracked pepper for the sous vide. apply brisket rub before I put it on the charcoal.
