The original Bruner Grocery was located at 65th and Charles Page Blvd. It was named after the the old street car stop, Bruner Station, at the same location. That was named after an old indian man named Bruner, that owned land there. A small mostley credit grosery store, that had a great meat market, established back in the 1940's/early 50's, by Don John's, and another guy, but I can't remember his name. My father retired from there, a union meat cutter. back when that was a good paying trade, one of my brothers, and I, both worked part time as meat cutters there, while on the Fire Department. The other owner feel ill and a few years later Don, got cancer, and passed away. The other guy's widow operated it as long as she could, and closed it down in the 80's I think? Old fashend meat markets, are a thing of the past, Perry's was another old fashion meat market in the Tulsa area! A friend that worked at Perry's, told me they couldn't even buy carcass beef, in quarters, all they could get before they closed, when Bud the owner passed away, was boxed trivac beef, processed in huge plants by illegal immigrants!! No need for skilled mest cutters now! PROGRESS? I don't think the state of Maine allows big Corporate, anything, in their state, and still have REAL people operating stores of all kinds, lodges, gas stations, etc. and don't seem to be any worse off because ot that!! NEAT PLACE to visit, and great people, even if they do talk kinda funny!!

I have always gotten great briskets from Crest. Never bought from a butcher.

Looks delicious!!!

Hoping mine turns out good next weekend! It will be my first. I’ve been reading a ton and watching a lot of videos, plus I have the help of @oksportsman.

I plan to use Kosmos Q Cow Cover and the Reserve marinade/injection. And wrap with butcher paper at the stall temp.


Edit: brain worked faster than fingers earlier.

Pretty happy with it, think it's my 4th one? Starting to slowly figure it out I think.

I rub one down with mustard and then use plenty of salt and pepper. Smoke 8 hours at 200 and foil wrap it the last 3 or 4 at 250.
Alway perfect

I buy mine at Sam's, they have Prime as well. I'd go to Costco but I don't want to drive out to north Dallas...

Costco. They actually grade theirs and I've seen prime.
Most of the grocery stores just put them out without a grade.
I cooked on the BBQ circuit for a couple of years with/against Danny Head that built Head Country BBQ sauce. He won the Grand Nationals twice with brisket in his turn-ins.
His comment to me was that brisket was the hardest part of a beef to grade when looking at one.
That man cooked thousands of briskets so I'm assuming he knows of where he speaks.

The USDA inspectors GRADE BEEF!! The USDA grades for beef are, utility, standard, good, choice, and prime!! They also grade the YIELD, 1, 2 or 3! This is done by mesuring the size of the loin, compared to the fat surrounding it! The GRADE, and YIELD, are then stamed on the carcus, along with the USDA approval stamp. USDA inspectors work for the federal government, and are independent of any store, or processing plant., for good reason!! Stores, including Costco, make up all kinds of names to put on beef, as a marketing tool, Angus Beef for example, and none of them mean anything! Angus is a breed of cattle, not a grade!
