To get the full juicy brisket effect you will want to start with a whole brisket, or what you might hear called a “packer brisket”, referring to a whole brisket packed in vacuum sealed plastic. You can either special order a whole brisket from a local butcher or you can find them at some of the wholesale stores. I have found Costco usually has a pretty decent selection of them, and the results have been pretty fantastic with a little practice. Try to pick out one that is more uniform in thickness across the length of the brisket.
