Would this be a "packer" brisket, at 8 pounds?


 
I'd guess packer with very little point meat, i.e. mostly flat. Basing this on the last picture. The strip of fat at the top is what I suspect separates the point from the flat.

Won't fully know until you open it up! As for size and wanting small briskets, get a FoodSaver (or other vacuum packing machine) and you can store the extra in the freezer. Works great!

Let us know once you do open it up.
 
Well this is it...No idea..lol. Whatever it is it's been smoking away for the last couple hours.

Corey...Avon Meatland in Schenectady usually has them. I wanna say $2.69 a pound. I've never bought one though because they are too big for what I need. I get my butts there though, they are around $1.79 for bone-in. For flats I always went to Price Chopper, but they went up in price lately. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

Yep, I know that place - I'm actually just a few miles north in Glenville. Picked up my first two briskets there for a party we had a few years back, but they only came out 'ok', as I had trouble tending my fire that night. Haven't been there in quite some time - I'll have to check it out again.

Hey neighbor..lol. I'm a mile or so across the river from Glenville.
 
I'm going with small packers. I've had the flats where there was a small amount of point left on there, but not as much as you show in the pics. JMO
