I got a 12½ lb full brisket from Wally Mart, it was $1.72 a lb which I though was really good. I'm going to cover and rub it with my mustard base bbq sauce and some dry rub, wrap it and stick into the fridge until Saturday morning. I've never bought one before and there was opnly one to chose from, so I hope I got a good one. For some reason I was thinking they looked more like a roast and not so flat, I hope it fits in my aluminum pan.
