Food Smokers and Smoking Tips/Tricks/Techniques

Good Morning Fellas

 

Morning...

 

Morning everyone, what's the prices of briskets running in the great state of Texas? Plan on grabbing a couple while I am down there since prices are usually a lot lower.

 

Morning Dan
It's all over the place, My wife watches for sales everyday.

 

So was watching something on cooking channel and they did a smoked brisket that has been marinated in beer. Anyone ever done this? If so what kind of beer and how did it turn out?

 

If it gets much cheaper for ya’ll they are going to have to pay you to eat it.

 

I would go for that.

 

Depends on what you want. I usually easily find choice briskets at around $2/lb. Primes tend to be more varied in price ranges, but I can usually find them at $4/lb +/-

 

just rolling out of bed...

 

It's usually not hard to find Choice for $2/lb. My suggestion, though, is to find a buddy with a Costco membership (or meet me at the one in North Fort Worth ) and buy Prime there. Usually $3.00 - $3.25/lb.

 

I found a "overstock" type place for foods and they have prime for the same price as walmart's choice. $2.96lb bout the best price around here..

 

I don’t think I’ve ever seen overstock meat.

Seems like a no such thing to me. Too much meat is probably still not enough meat.

 

Ranks right up there with Extra Bacon. WTF is Extra Bacon?

 

That sounds like blasphemy to me.

 

I didnt know about it till recently...but its an out west thing I guess..

Had to be started by California. I hear they like to eat grass there and not meat.

Just joking before someone gets mad.

 

You don't see Folks comin' to the Door Askin', "Sir, do you have any Extra Bacon" NO, You Don't. Universally Understood.

 

they smoke a lot of "grass"...lol

 

It's not really overstock, it's supposed to be a restaurant food and supply place for smaller independent type places so they have things somewhat in bulk but still sell to the public. Best place I have found around here for meat for a party or if I am going to do a large enough amount to share beyond me and the old lady. I love their big packs of tri-tip roasts. Probably going to swing in there this weekend and get a pork butt for smoked carnitas tacos and maybe grab a pork belly and do some burnt ends to bring in to work next week.

 

yeah it seemed like an overstock type store..to me but yeah basically caters to restaurants, I think they also get a little discount on top of the prices. We also get the coffee flavor bottles there. they have a whole side of one Aisle on different flavors. I got a good pork shoulder pack from them pretty cheap. I still have one in the freezer I need to thaw.
