Went to Costco and scored a USDA Prime packer...I'd seen other prime meats there but never brisket before...at $3.79/lb I thought it was a steal.

Rubbed with S&P plus a bit of chilies, garlic/onion powder, cumin.

Did an overnight smoke, mostly 250-275, wrapped in butcher paper at 170, continued to about 205 and butter tender.

Wrapped in foil and stashed in cooler wrapped in old towels for a 2 hours rest. Then lunchtime, best one yet!
