Melts in the mouth, although i'd have preferred more smoke ring (used hickory & apple) but the flavour is balanced nicely with the SPG rub I put on it 24hour before smoking. The pictures don't really show how moist the joint was. Cheers n Gone Nick Nice! Did you approach it any differently due to being a grass fed joint? Did it taste any different or have a different texture to grain fed? Wondering whether I might give one of these joints a go https://www.johndavidsons.com/pitmaster-bbq/brisket-love/angus-hereford-briskets-ireland I know this is probably blasphemy on this forum but buying british (or even Irish) beef is a heck of a lot better for carbon footprint, and grass fed is much better in that respect too. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ljevans96 Posted June 12, 2020 Share Posted June 12, 2020 Hey everyone, i've used Turner & George multiple times now. Can order Points, Flats or the whole packer. Ordered whole packer this week and it looks fantastic - going on the smoker tomorrow. The point i've bought and smoked before and turned out very well. They leave plenty of fat on which is good. Its the closer i've seen to what it looks like the americans can buy so easily! Only issue is they are a touch pricier than the local butcher - £60.00 for a 6kg brisket, which then requires a bit of trimming... https://www.turnerandgeorge.co.uk/catalogsearch/result/?q=brisket Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ive cooked one of those and it was fine. A bit over-trimmed out of the bag to be honest and a little light on the marbling. I injected it with beef stock, especially in the flat and it turned out perfectly respectably. Very good flavour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deano Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 Hi all, I've found a farm near me that sells their own beef, pork and lamb and have ordered a packer brisket from them. Had to explain what it was and include photos but hopefully it'll be great. Not picking it up until they get their most recent slaughtered cow back from hanging next week but I'll keep you posted. I'm based in Colchester. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Justin Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 Thx, let us know how you get on and the packer you get mate. There are quite a few members around this region that would be interested I think. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deano Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 Have unpacked the brisket. It's my first so have nothing else to compare it to, unfortunately. It's a big old piece of meat! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Smokington Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 You can order an untrimmed brisket from Sykes House Farm. They are a wholesale butcher and deliver all over Yorkshire and Lancashire but also sell to the public. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sbells82 Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 Try sherwoodfoods.co.uk, I just brought a 7-9kg full packer brisket from them, very good price £62.75 fed 15 of us with plenty leftovers. It gets delivered frozen and recommends defrosting in fridge for 3-5 days. Tasted great with just 50/50 salt pepper rub. Cooked it overnight. They also do short rib, pork butts, sausage, pork ribs as well. Hope this helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mowzy Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 Hey guys ive been getting into smoking meats for the past half a year or so. I bought a Pellet smoker (GMG Daniel Boone) and the thing is great. So far ive done pork ribs, beef short ribs , Pichania , pulled pork shoulder and whole chicken. Ive never done a whole brisket yet (just a flat) which came out okay but not as tender or moist as i would like. Thought i would show you guys the buthcher i use up in scotland. Their a bit pricey but have a good BBQ selection. Check them out. https://www.johndavidsons.com/pitmaster-bbq Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had me doubting myself as it was ready to come off the grill after 4 and a bit hours. Needn't have worried, probably the best one I've done in my short smoking time.

Mowzy Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 Thanks for the recommendation , i will certainly try it and yes they do have a great selection. I have been eyeing up the suckling pig also lol. never attempted that either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CurlyTron3000 Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 Picked up at 3kg Point in Sainsbury’s of all places yesterday. Never done a brisket before, figured this would be a good place to start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mowzy Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 There has been a video of this brisket being cooked in an offset smoker uploaded to youtube today. Might be worth a check out. The channel is called wilsons BBQ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The flat looked really dry but the point wasn't bad. looks like you may be able to buy just the point..

Wade Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 Yes you can. You do not need to buy a complete packer. Ask your butcher for what you want. Alternatively go to your wholesaler (e.g. Booker) and look at one they have flat or rolled. You can tell from the end of the roll the thickness of the brisket. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guy in the youtube video smokes a whole Sainsburys brisket. Point is good, flat looks dry. Sainsburys sell just the point as per the pic in my last post. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
