Where can I get the Huge Briskets from?!?

[alexhortdog95]

I see these huge briskets they use in competitions and I'm like, these look nothing like the Sams Club ones I get.

Where can I get one of those from?  I'm in Omaha, Nebraska.

 

[pops6927]

Are they full packer briskets untrimmed that you get now?  10-14 lbs?

 

[brdprey]

well costco has some bigguns and wynco has some but it seems you have to go in the morning cause people snatchem up fast. (utah)

 

[alexhortdog95]

Yeah, the 10 to 14 lbs you get at Sam's.  It just seems when I see a show online, their brisket is so much larger than the ones I'm working with.

 

[spoolinaz]

Alot of the comp teams are using Waygu I beleive. Don't know if that cattle is bigger than our normal steer or not.

 

[alexhortdog95]

Yeah they use Wagyu beef because of the amount of marbling in the meat.  I get that.

But WHERE do I get it?!?  LOL

It's like the qwest for the Holy Grail or something!

I happened to get a 16lb at Walmart. That thing was huge.http://www.smokingmeatforums.com/t/120844/another-first-16-lb-brisket-final-pics

Googled and found this:  http://www.williams-sonoma.com/prod...cm_ite=default&ci_src=14110944&ci_sku=3766029

Guess you could call and see if they have a monster one. Stuff is pretty pricey...

 

[forluvofsmoke]

I've made case purchases @ Sam's and it basically is a variety of sizes, from one being near or under 10lb to a three being in the 12-16lb range, and 17-18lb being the largest one in a case...usually only one big fella, though...5-count is typical.

Snake river farms. Full 10-14# packer wagyu brisket $75 plus shipping.

 

[bruno994]

Sorry, you won't find me ordering a 10 pound brisket for $75. 

 

[alexhortdog95]

Amen to that.....

I'm thinking they're getting them from a food distribution company (like Sysco or something) that only deals with restaurants....

 

[smokinhusker]

If I'm going to spend that kind of money on beef, it'll be Prime Rib, not Brisket!

Look at the Wagyu beef on pages 12-13.  There's isn't whole briskets there but there are Kobe briskets on page 35, 14-16 pound average.  If you have a strong heart I could check the price.....

At the Sams that we go to,  the largest briskets they get are no more than 7lbs. I found this out after talking to one of their butchers.

But to go through Sysco, you have to be a restaurant or distributor of food.  Individuals can't purchase from Sysco, right?

Holy God in Heaven....

$100.00 for a 10 pound brisket?!? 

 

[spoolinaz]

Try this on for size, 19.50/ lb! Till its cooked, you are looking at a $30 sandwich!

[h1]Wagyu Brisket[/h1] [h2]Brisket is one of our favorite cuts—and our Wagyu brisket is the hands-down, best brisket we’ve ever had. This popular cut, taken from the breast, lends itself to a wide variety of uses from braising to smoking to curing for corned beef. Traditionally, brisket is cooked long and slow to ensure the tenderness of the finished dish. Lower-grade briskets have rather lean meat and a cap of fat that can vary in thickness. Our Wagyu brisket has abundant marbling that bastes the meat from the inside as it cooks and a substantial fat cap that bastes the meat from the top down throughout the entire cooking process. In Texas where the word barbecue is synonymous with beef, brisket is a smoke-pit staple. So with a tip of our hat to a tasty Texas tradition, we suggest putting this brisket in your smoker over mesquite for 14 hours or so—you’ll think you found heaven on earth. Need some help? Here’s our way of preparing Smoked Wagyu Brisket (the way we make it at the Aspen Food & Wine Classic).[/h2] QUANTITY PACK PRICE   1 (9 lb.) Wagyu Whole Beef Brisket $175.98

I just called my local Sam's Club and talked to the guy in the meat department.  I told him I was looking for a 16 pounder.  He said that if I got there and wanted a bigger one, I could ring the bell and they'd take me back into the cooler to pick one out of the case.

Right now, butt is $1.58 for a pack, $1.40 for a case, and brisket is $2.38 for a packer, $2.36 for a case.
