Mike, you have a great Costco. Wish I did...
Jay: They seem to fluctuate on what they sell. You can go in this week, and next week it is gone because it wasn't selling. A year later it is back.

And that, my dear Brothers-in-Q, is why you gotta buy 'em when you see 'em. Take it home and plan a party. Buy two if Mama isn't in the truck, and hide the second one in your beer fridge. Keep that local Costco manager CONFIDENT that those fat boys will sell through.
I have 2 of the choice briskets total weight 29 pounds. I am trimming them now, and will get them both injected and rubbed tonight. Into the cooler for a cook tomorrow morning. I usually start them in the smoker at 180 degrees to get as much smoke on them as I can. I am going to bump this to the 275 degrees, and see where we are at far as internal temp and time when it gets toward bed time.
Nice of those lads to let you go through the case and high grade their beef!
I made some changes from what I usually do. I injected the briskets with Butcher BBQ, I bumped the temps in the smoker up to 275, and I used butcher paper to wrap the briskets in when I put them in the Cooler. Total cook time for 2 15 pound briskets was 9 hours. I started probing them at 195 degrees. They didn't probe like warm butter until they actually hit 205 degrees. They have great flavor, but are drier than when I do low and slow method.
