Certified Angus Brisket:

Up until last winter I had been cooking brisket flats purchased at Sam's Club with mixed results. I've since switched over to whole briskets and have been pleased with the results.

There is a meat market near our house that is happy to order Certified Angus Briskets (CAB) for me as long as I allow a couple days notice. If you are using brisket flats, I would recommend you consider changing to whole briskets. I think you be happy with the results. I know I sure am and our contest results will bear that out.
