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 post Share on other sites
Ljevans96 1 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 post Share on other sites

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 post Share on other sites
Deano 4 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 post Share on other sites

Justin 1,299 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 post Share on other sites

It's my first brisket so not sure how much my opinion counts but will post photos of how it looks when I get it and obviously post smoking Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Deano 4 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 post Share on other sites

Lord Smokington 0 Posted April 7 Share Posted April 7 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 post Share on other sites
