That makes sense on Franklin. Going on my first Costco meat run tonight and see what they have.

Appreciate all the insight.

They have periods where the briskets are a little more expensive, but Costco and Sam's pretty regularly have them at a good price for Prime, and ridiculously affordable for Choice.  This past summer was pretty expensive as we had a major beef shortage as a result of COVID, but usually that's not the case, even as popularity has increased the price of brisket.

I'm off the week between Christmas and New Years and planning to brew some beer and smoke; can't wait!  

Happy smoking, brother!
