I've decided to cook a whole packer brisket for the 4th. Going to try the high heat method from this site. Went to Sams yesterday for some other things and checked to see what they had for briskets and they had an 11 lb choice that looked good but I hesitated and did not buy it because I thought it was 5 days before the 4th and wondered if I should wait on a fresher one. It did have a sell by date of July 9. Should I have gotten it or did I do the right thing? If waiting was right when is the earliest I should buy the brisket for this coming Wednesday. Thanks for any suggestions.
