Ground brisket

[newbiesmoker]

Kroger has brisket $3.99/lb last week. I bought 2, 1 for hamburger and one to smoke.
Ended up vacuum sealing 11 1lb packs out of a $45 brisket. The LEM #8 did a good job grinding after I put the auger and fixtures in freezer over night. Meat was pretty frozen too.

Yep, the Kroger nearest me has them too and I do the same. Trim as much fat as I can then weigh and add enough fat back in to make about 20%-25% burger. Rest of the fat gets rendered for tallow...

Great price and I love ground brisket
I don't freeze my grinder parts. The meat tends to stick.
I usually just chill well in garage fridge that is struggling in our recent heat and humidity wave.
