• Brisket Only Competition: October 25, 2009

[Smoke'N Phoenicians BBQ]

I'm in sign me up for 1 brisket.
? what is the deal with peoples choice. Is is brisket only, or what ever I want?

[KidCurry]

Peoples choice is just the left over part of the brisket that you turned in for the comp...just cut up for people to try and then they vote.

[Mike (AZBarbeque)]

Looking forward to seeing everyone out there, should be a great event.

People's Choice is just your left over Brisket for our members and the public there at Famous Daves so they can all try them out.

We are changing the rules of the People's Choice this time.  This time, we will have 6 - 10 people chosen as our People's Choice judges.  They will go through the line with everyone else and taste all the briskets.  They will then turn in their choices to us to determine a winner.  This seems to be the most fair way of doing it.

See you all there..

Mike - I'm going to do one brisket. Instead of just flats this time I'm going to try a full packer. 

[Mike (AZBarbeque)]

Awesome..

Come on members, this is a fun event for you to practice on your briskets.  The cost is just $10 per Brisket as we want to keep it affordable enough for everyone. (At this price, I don't even break even on my costs for this event.)

Make sure to Bring your Brisket fully cooked and ready to slice and a knife for you to cut it with.

We will have cutting boards, paper towels & turn in containers.

Looking forward to seeing everyone at the event.

If you are not able to cook a brisket, still come out and enjoy meeting all of our great members, some of our great sponsors and taste some great brisket.

Hope to see lots of you out there..

I was going to try a full packer too but Sam's on Northsight and Costco on Hayden only had well trimmed flats. They would have made a Playboy Bunny blush they were trimmed so tight! Anyone know who has packers on the North side of town? 

[AzJohnnyC]

Smart and Final at Scottsdale and Thunderbird had full packers last weekend, I saw full packers in a Wal-Mart Supercenter the other day. I'm up on the north end too, let me know if you find them.

[RudedoggAZ]

I saw packer briskets at frys on Bell and 32nd, not frozen in the bag for 2.99 per lb.

[Mike (AZBarbeque)]

Albertsons carrys them.  Always ask to see the ones they have in the back.  I do and they are always some nice ones.

You heard it here...Mike likes to get his meat from the back!! 

[SmoknAZ]

Smitty that just might get you banned! No it was too good to ban you.
Johnny I picked one up at Albertsons 101 and Tatum for 1.99 per pound. I don't like my meat in the back so I took it off the shelf. It was the only one out at the time. Went to Fry's on Tatum and Cave Creek and they were at 2.49 per pound and it did not looke real good.
Thanks for the help Mike and Smitty just proves again that no good dead goes unpunished.

[Mike (AZBarbeque)]

Smitty is certainly going to get banned for that comment.  Might even change the color on his new smoker to Hot Pink..

Come on Mike - I have seen worse on here!!  You set yourself up good for that comment. Hot pink still looks better than DeWalt Yellow
