Here is some inspiration for you, KC. This is from the Pecan Lodge in Dallas.

I have two sources now that are consistent for good sized pckers:
1. Don's Meats in Davis county. This is the guy that CJF uses and referred me to. Excellent stuff.
2. When I can't make the drive up to Davis County, Sam's Club seems to have good packers.
I don't waste my time with the mini-packers at Costco. In my experience, the bigger the better for a better final result.
Now, if cowboy can hook us up with a big group buy I'm all over that.
Speaking of which, when are you ever going to post some pics of that FM brisket you are always bragging about?

Franklin's in Austin was ranked #1 in Texas (and therefore the world).

Trying it might hasten your death. But it looks like it's worth it.

I've talked of lots of things - healthy eating is certainly not among them. I was specifically talking about warranted unhealthy eating. Sorry for any confusion.

13.5-lb prime brisket is in the oven now wrapped in foil. We're also making baked beans and mac&cheese for dinner tonight. Can't wait.
I want pics!
(I am doing a brisket tomorrow)

Not bad I guess for a first attempt. Though the first lesson I've learned is not to waste money on buying a USDA Prime brisket since if it doesn't turn out just right you've pretty much wasted $50. I think I was too anxious about this cook, and I ended up with meat that was overdone.
I was following JL's guidelines in the first post here but thought since he mentioned an 8-10 lb packer and that mine was a 13.5-lb brisket, I ought to start mine a couple hours earlier. So I got up at 2:00am to put the meat on the smoker after rubbing it with Spade L Ranch and letting it sit in the fridge all day.
When I woke up at 6:00am to help a new neighbor move (who moves at 6:15?!?) the meat was up to 156 degrees, and it hit the 165 mark at 8:30. At that point, I took it off the smoker, wrapped it in foil with some apple juice, and moved it to the oven and continued to cook at 225 degrees. It hit 200 degrees at 11:00am and at that point, I let the heat out of the oven and reset the oven temp to 170 to hold until dinner.
The problem was that dinner wasn't scheduled until 6:00pm and we couldn't move it up (we had 17 guests coming). So it had to sit in the oven for 6.5 hours. I think it was just too long. So, the flavor was good, but I thought it was a little dry. I got plenty of compliments, but I've got nice neighbors. I served it with a variety of sauces, which helped. Oklahoma Joe's Night of the Living BBQ, Jack Stack, some Famous Daves, and a new one I grabbed off the shelf at Macey's only because it came from Garland, TX where I was born.
Oh, I also made burnt ends. About 2.5 hours before we were going to eat, I unwrapped the brisket and separated the point from the flat. I cubed it as best I could since the meat was so soft, added some drippings and some sauce, then put it back on the smoker, stirring it every 30 min or so. Best part of the meal.
