At my closeout grocer, whole briskets were $19.99 this weekend regardless of size, so I bought one which is at least 11 lbs. I know that as I went to Aldi after and saw a 3# brisket flat @ $4.99/lb and I have something three times as large.

I'll smoke this one before July 4 as my brother and his savage family will drop the kids off with their mutt on the Wednesday before.
