Whole Brisket (Packer Style) | USDA Prime

The logistics went very smooth and the delivery arrived exactly as promised by Meat N’ Bone. The brisket was well packed - vacuum packed in a polystyrene box with ice packs, inside a cardboard box. It went straight into the refrigerator to await my planned 4th July cook. On the evening of 3rd I planned on trimming the brisket but decided no trimming was necessary. I seasoned with my favorite GrubRub dry rub, wrapped it and back into the Refrigerator for overnight. On 4th I lit my 14 year old large Big Green Egg and packed it well with BGE charcoal. I decided on cherry wood chips which I soaked overnight and make into packages using aluminum foil. The brisket took up the full grill surface as you can see in the photograph. I use the plate setter to avoid direct heat and a good size drip pan. My target ambient in the egg is 225-250F. I use a Meater + Bluetooth thermometer. When the internal temperature reached 170F I remove the brisket, add a layer of bacon, wrap in butcher paper and return to the grill for the final stage of the cook. At 203F I removed the wrapped brisket and put in a cooler box to rest for 30 minutes. In total it took about 9 hours. At 83 years old I have smoked a lot of briskets. This brisket from Meat N’ Bone is one of the juiciest, tastiest, tenderest that I have ever cooked. 5 stars for quality and service Meat N’ Bone.

This was my first brisket attempt on my Traeger Timberline. I couldn’t be happier with the end result and a lot of that success is owed to the large hunk of protein that showed up from MeatNBone. I’ll be ordering again!

Received a beautiful 14.7 pound prime brisket two days after ordering. It is beautifully marbled and well processed! It has been trimmed and seasoned and will fo on my smoker for a low and slow cook this weekend.

I’ll never buy a choice brisket again. My local prime briskets weren’t much better. This 16-18 pounder was perfect. Had a fair fat to trim off the side and top but that’s expected. Did have a huge piece of deckle fat. Smoked 12 hours; 200F for 8 hours. Foil boated the bottom after 5 hours. Then wrapped in butcher paper with 4 hours to go. And cooked at 250F. I’ve made lots of briskets and this was the best by a wide margin. From here forward it’s prime briskets. I will probably try Creekstone competition prime briskets once to see how they stack up. Meat & Bone is on the reorder list from here forward!!!

First brisket was 6 years ago. It crushed my manhood and made me question my life choices. I decided yo give it another shot. Chose the 10-13 pound prime to try my second attempt. This prime cut did not disappoint. It was already shaped nicely so I didn’t have to trim too much off. This cut is very forgiving for a novice like me.

12 hours and 20 minutes to get to 170 temp in flat. Wrapped in foil with beef consume and Kosmo Q Brisket mop. Used Sucklebusters 1836 Beef Rub.

Overall experience exceeded expectations. I ordered a prime whole packer brisket on Friday 6/28 late afternoon. The product arrived on Wednesday 7/3, which was two days after shipping. The product was still frozen even though the dry ice had sublimated. The brisket was beautiful. I trimmed the packer and then put it on my smoker for overnight smoke. This awesome piece of meat was tender, juicy, and it just wowed my guests. I was blown away buy the entire experience from ordering to final outcome of consuming this tender and juicy packer. Thank you!!
