    How to cut/divide packer brisket for pot roast meals

    So I scored 3x 17lb Angus packer briskets today at 2.00/lb. I would like to cut 1 entire brisket into 1/3rds or 1/4s for pot roast meals. Vac seal each section, put in freezer, then thaw and cook as needed. I'm unsure of how to cut this packer brisket. Any help would be appreciated!

    Slow roasted semi-boneless leg of lamb

    Slow roasted semi-boneless leg of lamb. Slow roasted on a bed of onions, fresh whole garlic (halved), and beef broth. I strained and defatted the pan juice and made an awesome gravy, and Petite potatoes seasoned. Lamb was seasoned with black pepper, salt, and brisket seasoning.

Cooked to med rare and onto an onion bun and some cajun seasoned crinkle fries. Yes, I did a huge deep clean on the grill and smoker last week. I love this...

    Brisket came out so-so, what to do with 3lbs of cubed brisket?

    So against my better judgment (and after searching for 2 days and 10 stores) I bought a wallyworld brisket. Black printing on package, I'm assuming it's a select brisket. I knew I was in trouble after opening and trimming said brisket. So I went to smoke it as usual. The end result was sub-par...

    Demon's boneless and bone-in pork shoulder

    A little lapse in judgement, I didn't notice one shoulder was boneless and one bone-in when I bought them. I was excited at BOGOfree (8.50 for both WIN-WIN for me). I've never done a boneless before, and it's been 15yrs since I had to tie up a slab of meat. In the smoker at midnight (250*) in a...
