smoking 14kg of brisket for a work do tonight. It's coming along nicely, started last night about 6.
I'm genuinely salivating at the smoky meaty aroma permeating my hood right now
Bone in piece on the top?

@canefan both bone in. Westmere Butchers sell it - it's affordable brisket ($6/kg). I love me some brisket, but I can't process paying what beef, lamb or veal fillet costs to eat it!
After all, it's meant to be a throwaway cut of meat

@nzzp used to be a throway piece. That seems like a good deal, although you are paying for the weight of the bones
You sure are. I worked out that I net about 2/3 in cooked meat, so about $9/kg cooked. It's great value, and you get the amazing meat bewteen the bones that genuinely turns into butter.
Compared to $15+/kg uncooked, it makes a difference. Less critical if you're only doing a small amount, but should get 8-9kg of meat for eating out of there (and feed about 40)

I love it that the whole animal is being used now and the less popular cuts are in "fashion".
Lamb shanks were pretty much put in the bin when I was kid. Not anymore.

I just gripe at how 'cheap' cuts become fashionale and no longer cheap.
About the only one left that is a bargain is Lamb Neck.I used to do Oxtail in the restaurant. Kept the food cost down and the locals loved it. Takes some work/time to do well but delicious.
Venison Shanks were another. -

yep, spot on. 'peasant food' is now trendy. I'm cool with that, but the price differential isn't there ... so we eat a fair bit of lamb rack, fillet, etc. 20 years ago it was all rump steak and stewing beef!

I am always impressed by skilled chefs that can make the lesser cuts into something amazing. Went to St John a couple of years ago in London, it was delicious

speaking of the cheap cuts...
Anyone tried this?
Caught a bit on TV last night about it, I think they said they use lamb belly (or a part that isnt usually used)
SMOKED LAMB SHOULDER BACON 300G
We have created a Pork Free Bacon utilizing a new breed of Te Kuiti farmed free-range lamb that is deliciously rich in flavour and fat. Using the traditional dry-curing method we took various lamb cuts and smoked them with Pohutukawa. We created a natural marinade using organic sea salt, vinegar,...

I had to do a six weeek training course and there were muslims there, so real bacon was off the menu. They substituted with "turkey bacon". Whilst quite nice, it's not bacon, don't call it that. Cured turkey strips, whatever, but don't try and mislead me. It's not bacon!
