The 12th Commandment Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 Did a pork chop in olive oil, garlic and rosemary with grilled green onions and corn on the cob (and applesauce of course) on my little Weber Q today. Love that grill, got an adapter for a regular tank and it really makes the propane last compared to my big grill. Gets good and hot too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoCommiesGo Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 Thanks for the input from everyone. I went with a Weber Performer Dekuxe. Charcoal grill with the propane ignition. Hoping to fire that up today. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daveakl Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 Cooking burgers on the grill tonight. Premade patties from Harris teeter. Frozen and I don't even need to thaw them. It's a propane grill also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skinsfan1311 Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 Finally, I find one of those crazy deals, that I'm always reading about. Yes!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
China Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 Of course, they always have brisket on sale near St. Patrick's day, so people can make corned beef. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LadySkinsFan Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 (edited) I got mine on sale but not at those prices! I should have gone to that store. Edited March 18, 2017 by LadySkinsFan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not Costco, and not that cheap. That's pretty much the only place that we shop for non-deli meats, and I check prices regularly. There's no way that they mark them down like that, as it's a regularly stocked item. These were mixed in with the regularly priced briskets, all with the same expiration dates. You may be, partially correct. They sell corned beef too. I think that someone was supposed to mark down the corned beef brisket, and screwed up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LadySkinsFan Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 (edited) You were definitely lucky! Safeway, and just a regular brisket, marked down 30% after being marked down for the holiday. Paid $6.23. Not spiced with corned beef spices, so I bought some. It's going in the slow cooker tomorrow.

Durn tootin'! I tossed them in the freezer. I wanted to smoke one, tomorrow, but Mrs Skinfan is craving ribs. Works for me! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
China Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 No cooking tonight, ordered Peruvian. Ceviche, tallarin saltado de carne, chorizo, etc. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LadySkinsFan Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 Sounds really good, China. When I had my place in Coral Gables, there was a really good Peruvian restaurant that had excellent ceviche. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGoodBits Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 I finally, finally upgraded my smoker. Old one was just a small masterbuilt electric smoker. Easy to use obviously but missing some authenticity. And it was pretty small, so briskets didn't really fit well in it. Considered a Traeger but they were fairly pricey for the size I wanted (about $1000) and the lack of authenticity was there too. Considered an offset smoker but there is a wide discrepancy between the $400 ones from Home Depot that are apparently miserably cheap quality and the legit ones that run $2k+. Settled on a 22" Weber Smokey Mountain. They are supposedly fairly easy to maintain temp on, pretty well made, and only run $400. Looking forward to firing it up this weekend. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOF44 Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 Great price on those briskets!! Anyone know where to get the whole brisket that's not an arm and a leg?? Would love to try to smoke one with the point and the flat to try some burnt ends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I lived in NoVA I went to Wilsons Farm Meats in Catlett. Bit of a hike but had a selection that couldn't be beat. Those briskets usually ran around $70-80 for a 15lber. I'm in central VA now and go to F&L Market in Lynchburg. Same size briskets are usually about $45-50.

When he got to old and was not around anymore it seemed to go downhill some quality wise. It's probabaly been 10 or 15 years or more since I have been there. Has the quality picked back up????

Yeah I've only been in the past couple years but have nothing but good things to say, other than they are definitely a little on the pricier end. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone know where to get the whole brisket that's not an arm and a leg?? Would love to try to smoke one with the point and the flat to try some burnt ends. Believe it or not? Wal-Mart. The one in Glen Burnie, off of Ordinance Rd., has a nice selection of whole packers for $3.49lb. They are those "Excel" brand cryovac packs and the grade is choice. There is nothing wrong with a choice cut of brisket. That's the only grade of brisket that I've ever smoked, and I make damn good brisket. I save my Prime $$$ for better cuts of beef. One of the basic tenets of long, slow smokes, is taking an inexpensive, tougher cut of meat, and making it tender. If you can't make a tender brisket, from a Choice cut, then it's not likely that your results will be any better with Prime. Avoid "Select" grade at all costs. It flat out sucks, there's not enough marbling. When picking out a whole packer, make sure that it has decent marbing, and a good fat cap, and there's some "flex" to it. If it's stiff as a board, don't buy it. Edited March 25, 2017 by Skinsfan1311 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
