Where to find good quality raw chicken wings?

[killramos]

… Costco?

[ExtraSlow]

A butcher?

[killramos]

Hutterites?

[ThePenIsMightier]

The opposite of Super Store?
Terrible Store?
Super Blockbuster?

[ExtraSlow]

What's the most expensive grocery store in the city? Probably that.

Just saw this posted over at RFD if anyone is looking at getting into BBQing with a cheap smoker

Round vertical style for $44
https://www.gianttiger.com/713309/p/713309

Offset style for $50
https://www.gianttiger.com/972494/p/972494

Free shipping on order of $50 or more. So the offset smoker will ship for free. The round one you will need to pay $5.98 for shipping, or add a few items as filler to get free shipping.

They're definitely not going to be the best, with thinner metal than other more expensive smokers but they're super cheap if you're interested in starting out or getting a 2nd/3rd different style of smoker.

please don't buy either of those things

Just buy a Kettle if you want a cheap smoker

[bulaian]

Lol I have a weber kettle myself. This was just another option for others.

FYI if anyone is looking for cheap charcoal, some Walmart's have 8lb bags of kingsford down to $3

Superstore has them for $4.24

The Walmarts be me were sold out so I picked up some from superstore. They also had Royal Oak 15 or 16 lb bags for $5.90 something.

[ThePenIsMightier]

I'm getting a bit jealous because the Jealous Devil bag I bought was $40...

[trieu]

Anyone have a Yoder? Looking into the YS640s. Is it worth the cost and at what temps in winter can it still hold consistently?

[ExtraSlow]

Some dudes use those welding blankets around their pellet smokers in the winter to help it hold heat and save pellets. Doesn't answer your questions, I realize, but . . . .

Charcoal deal at Hanks Grills

Just need to get out there during a workday

If you guys are smokin brisket, do you usually do a big one with both the point and flat? Anyone ask for a specific section of brisket?
I grabbed a small one and it ended up being mostly point, I guess I was looking at it wrong, I thought it was both, but I really prefer just the flat. I was thinking of asking the butcher next time for just a flat of the brisket, but I'm a little worried that it would dry out a lot easier..


On the subject of chicken wings, the halal packs from Costco are amazing. The texture is way more tender than "normal" wings for some reason. I love em.

I’ve ordered a true Canadian style “packer” before which includes the plate… which is basically just a continuation of the flat (same length, but a membrane runs through it) and have done it on its own as an afterthought… came out fine, just the same techniques as a full brisket (wrap at stall, pull at 203F). But typically when I do a regular brisket I’m pulling when the flat is at temp, and the point is still a touch under… point is the best, burnt ends ftw. But if flat only is your thing see if you can find a butcher to give you a plate… probably cheaper that way too
