One of my favorites a nice tri-tip... there are benefits to having to work from home.

Did a flat last week. Came out alright. Not a huge flat only fan.

I've been wanting to cook my first brisket but all I can find are the flats, wondered if they were any good

They’re good. I wouldn’t recommend it for a first cook though. Costco should have full packers.

I gotcha, they didn't last time I was there but I think we're going back in the next few days to restock so I'll check it out.

Yup.......
I buy a hind quarter from a farmer a couple times a year. Im having him add a brisket this time. I can't wait to see how a non-processed straight from the butcher brisket turns out.

My new smoker arrived today. Spent the day assembling and doing a precondition heat that was recommended.
I'll get some pictures on here soon.
It is the Rec Tec RT-2500 BFG.

That thing is a beast. Look forward to seeing your cooks.
I think I’m leaning towards the 590. Based on the specs, it’s the same or even slightly bigger than my Weber genesis. Should do the trick for the amount we’ll eat. Since my wife said it’s a late Father’s Day gift, it’s also a little easier on the wallet.

I was between the 700 and 590, one of the main reasons I went with the 700 is the larger capacity rear mounted hopper, as I'll be building it into an outdoor kitchen, but really idk if it's totally worth 400 more but for my application it will be. Probably won't be disappointed either way.

Try to find a whole brisket, just the flat sucks in my opinion. There’s a reason BBQ places only smoke whole briskets and not just flats. Not enough fat to keep them juicy and really really easy to over cook it.

Congrats! Damn you got the big boy! I have the RT 700 and love it. I bet that thing is awesome. What are gonna do first on it?

I was the same way. Went with the 700 and really happy with it. I use it all the time, my oven is starting to feel neglected.

Will do, gotta keep my eye out for one. Hopefully can get to Costco this weekend.
I cook a ton of stuff on the 700, only fired up the gas grill a few times since I've bought this.

Well the plan is a pork shoulder marinated in a tomatillo sauce for about 12ish hours. Will see how that turns out for tacos.
Will take some pictures. Still need to get some of the BFG posted.

It's overkill for my normal day to day use, but I plan on doing a family get together and smoking a pig. Supposedly this thing will hold a 150# pig.
