We picked one up last weekend
Opened the Cryopack, and started to trim it the usual way
First thought: the Fat Cap was as if the "Skin" was still on it, and the Fat itself was more like Tapioca Pudding
The Flat turned-out to be only about an inch thick
The Fat layer between the Flat and the Point was just shy of and inch 3/4 of an inch thick and covering most of the area between the to Muscles
And most upsetting; was the Point had three strips of Fat (1/2" to 3/4") "Striped" across it, leaving very little useable Meat
All this leading-up to our most disappointing Cook to date
Hope y'all pick a better one than we did

I bought a 16 lb two weeks ago and smoked last week.
For some reason it took forever to come up to temp, but overall tasted good.

These are still on sale, at least in NE TX. I also saw they have beef short ribs on sale for $3.99 as well. Never have seen them that cheap. Now they are Choice and not Prime, but my guess is they would still be killer. I did grab a brisket, but still have 2 of the short ribs in my freezer, so passed on those. If anyone tries one of these, please let us know how they turned out as I have only done prime.
