Got a 13 1/2 lber for $18.00 and change one time at Wal-mart. So around $1.35 or so.  Normally they are close to double that amount. I have only found them at the price twice now.

Prices seem to be going up. Cash & Carry just sent me an email with their full packer brisket on "sale" for $2.55 lb.

HTRN that is what I was thinking too...maybe trimming the fat down to around 1/4" or so, and then rub that baby down. I have some real concerns about its size…. From what I have read, they say budget 2hrs per pound….if that is true, I’m looking at an all weekender smoke and unfortunately I really don’t have that much time to devote to this right now……

you might want to separate them into the Point and Flat...then each will have it's own layer of fat but as a whole you wont have a large amount of fat. I have never done the separation before but its on my list and i would do it if i had a big boy like that. just my opinion.

There is a sticky in this section for separating the point and flat if you want a good, graphic walk through
