I'm doing a smoke next Friday and plan on doing a brisket, a pork shoulder and some ribs. My main question is with the brisket. I'm wondering what the quality is of the full rolled briskets that Costco sell ? They seem to have a good array of nicely sized brisket cuts, but my internet travels have told me that I should be using choice grade or above. Has anybody used a Costco brisket before and/or do they know what grade of beef Costco sells ?
Also, has anybody used their ribs before ? I've got four sitting in my freezer right now.
Will prob get my pork shoulder from a local quality butcher, I could probably get the brisket from there as well if need be, although I was in the other day talking to them, and it was as if I was talking a foreign language when I was trying to explain a 'whole packers brisket' and the fact that I wanted to bbq it amazed them
