How much a lb was that?

12.5 Lbs, so roughly $3.44 per pound. It took about an hour and a half per pound to smoke. I only smoked the point, though. The flat is brining in my refrigerator because I’m turning it into pastrami.

Love smoking a brisket.   Did you use the Texas crutch? Never made pastrami.

No, I just let it smoke without wrapping. If I wrap a brisket, it’s only in butcher paper (aluminum foil makes the brisket too much like pot roast for my liking), but I rarely use it. If you have good wood, put the meat on your smoker at the appropriate time, and have a large enough water pan, you’ll rarely ever need to wrap it.

Pastrami is great as long as you have the right ingredients; the most important is prague powder. Without that, you don’t have corned beef or pastrami.

Damn! That's crazy cheap, we sell our prime brisket for 8.99/lb

That’s the glory of Costco. I get my beef ribs from a specialty butcher shop (which sells its full packer brisket at $11.99/Lb), but I’ll always get my brisket from Costco because it’s so much cheaper than anywhere else.
