    I saw those at the Costco on 2100s in slc. The one by my work doesn't have them yet. They were in, what appeared to be, a new meat section. They were also selling pork belly, entire roasting pig, and an entire NZ lamb among other large cuts of beef/pork.

      I'll definitely have to check that out. Thanks for the heads-up.

I have been using an electric knife which is highly efficient, but it frays the meat as it slices, leaving the edges kind of ugly looking. Here it a photo of brisket after using an electric slicer (notice the shaggy edges on upper left slices):



        After doing some research, I bought this little baby:

        A little pricey, but wow, it works beautifully. Got to try it for the first time yesterday and here are the results.

        I hope your research included my post from 3 years ago in this thread.http://www.cougarstadium.com/showthr...l=1#post904513

          5 briskets today. Started them yesterday and cooked for 20 hours. I had to ride for cows most of the day so they were a little overdone. Also, not as much of a smoke ring as I'd like to have, but it tasted good, and the burnt ends were great.

            JL, three years later, do you still endorse the step by step instructions you posted on the 1st page of this thread?

            Also, scale of 1-10, how important is it to trim?

              A fight between a couple of pitmasters during a brisket cook-off resulted in charges being brought against one of the contestants whose "slab of hot meat" hit a woman in the face and neck.

              You guys be careful out there!

                Yikes. Those instructions were way out of date from my current method. I just tweaked them.

                Enough friends and family bugged me that I put together a much more detailed set of instructions this past year, including a series of photos. Too long to post in the OP, so send me an e-mail to lebowski99@gmail.com and I will send you a copy.

                      Ha. Yeah, that is pretty lame.

                      It's been a long day. I would need to convert and upload about a dozen photos, then make links to them, etc. I will try to get to it tomorrow.

                          OK, the OP is now fully updated to my current technique. I was afraid it would go over the character/photo limit but it worked out fine. Phew.

                            Nice write-up. So you don't even use the 'smoke' setting anymore? I like to smoke the brisket for 2 hours before turning the temp up to 225.

                              Nope. Don't recall ever doing it that way.
