buccs - in that 4th pic, the slice pic, you see that round
yellow I guess glob of fat? I think that's the 'deckle' and
won't render the same as other fat. Any comment?
It really doesn't matter, we gotta call our local butcher to tell him
what we want. Excellent.

I have tried small, grass-fed brisket and brisket on the bone here in NZ... they are OK, but a trifle thin I have found. Have been searching for a while and finally found today a real, full-on, American-style packer brisket. Is 7.3kb/16lbs - $79, about USD$62.50. It is Angus or Hereford (from Mahy Farms in the SI http://www.mahyfarms.co.nz/ ). Grass-fed of course. I grabbed it and will BBQ on the WSM in the New Year as I am away from next week in the US.
So keep looking, I know what you mean about the bone etc, but it is good to pit oneself against the genuine article!
Thanks bro, but I am versed in the genuine article.
Thanks for that I know you are trying to be helpful, and let me assist you back.
When you get a 'brisket' down here, it is the shallow and narrow PART of the US cut called brisket . You have to get a butcher who breaks down animals to cut it further along at the chest top part, then you get the thicker part too. Most won't do it BTW.
I'll show you some links to my earlier American cuts I cooked and please enjoy.
I am no longer in the market for boneless brisket, because on the bone cooks a superior product IMO. Still delicious, no doubt.
It's all subjective so YMMV.
