I owe you an apology there Mike.....I'm spewin' all kindza crap like I almost know what I'm talkin' about & didn't even think to ask if it's whole or just flat......
There's a lot of places where flats are what's available.....the Sam's Club / Walmart around here doesn't even carry them, except rarely WallyWorld will..........
The place I do get them has choice at one store & select at a place in a different area, same price by way of the ad........
Flat only will be different than the whole one, not as much fat & more risk of drying out.....will cook up nice & briskety, but it is a bit different ballgame.....
Don't know how close this might be to you, but here's a whale of a deal on brisket, people are talking about buying freezers just to get the sale stuff stored away ~~~>
