Was back in walmart last week, their packers are the same brand as wegmans, exel. Sizes were much larger though, wegmans only carries 6-8 pounders, the all seemed to be around 10 or larger at walmart. At $3 a pound though, I assume this is because they aren't trimmed and might trim down closer to 8 lbs. Definitely going to Walmart for my next brisket though.
On somewhat related note, where are people getting their ribs? I picked up a a couple of untrimmed packs of spare ribs from Walmart for the 4th, didn't notice it at the time but they were in an 8% basting solution that seems to leave them really salty. I hate paying wegmans prices for a trimmed rack though.
I'm also transitioning into smoking with hardwood logs rather than lump charcoal and wood chunks, anyone have any good places for sourcing wood? Again, Wegmans carries hardwood bundles that don't contain any pine or mildew and are kiln dried, but I have to figure there's a better place....
