Costco Packer with Burnt Ends

[briggy]

It looks like fall is finally hitting in Ohio with a high of 65 today.  Feels like a nice day to sit around the WSM!  Picked up a 15lb prime packer for $2.89 a pound on my way home from work last night.  If you have a Costco near that carries packers, you really can't go wrong!

Looks good so far --- waiting for the money shots

 

The Costco by me doesn't always have whole packers which can make things difficult

Early stall at 154......lasted 2:45, finally started moving again.

Those look awesome! I'm a big costco meat fan as well.  I like the simple rub.  Always best in my opinion. b

Couldn't agree on Costco for the price more.  Just hit 162 so we have awhile to go.....

Here is the point, done well before the flat.  Giving it a rest under foil before the chop for burnt ends!
