I've never seen a brisket for less than $5-6 here in the Boston area. They are all flats. What gives? Anyone know where I can get a packer for ~$2.50/lb? I'm hitting Restaurant Depot next weekend, but any other ideas?
You mean the black stuff all over? Just leave it. Thats what a smoker looks like. You will get flakes / pieces of black stuff over time (creosote) that may fall onto your food. You want to tub down the smoker every now and again to keep that stuff off your food.
Yeah try it, the coarse one works fine. I dont need to grind it twice at all. I mix in 80/20 ground beef from Costco in a lot of my recipes and I dont even grind the beef.
