A Semi Truck missed the curve in the road this morning. He fell asleep at the wheel and was taken to hospital with a head injury. He was carrying about 48,000 lbs of Restaurant quality Angus Beef Brisket. The insurance agent was at the scene and said they could not keep the meat and would have to be destroyed or given away. So my husband loaded up about 300 lbs in the freezer most which will be given away, and the local farmers have come to get some. The tow truck driver just told us that there is still about 200 lbs they have put on pallets over the fence in our pasture. It is snowing heavily now so it should still be find by morning. Will probably take the rest down to the homeless shelter. WOW still cannot believe it.
This area of road is called dead mans curve as there are so many accidents here sadly

Cool. You have a charcoal or pellet smoker? Brisket is killer smoked for 45 min to 127 deg F with Mesquite or Hickory coals. I use Hardcore Carnivore Black from
https://jesspryles.com/ as a rub.
Lucky you, as a volunteer fire and rescue person that has happened a time or two in my 50+ year career. I can smell them cooking in my smoker, and everyone else I know smokers,, Hopefully the driver will recover completely.
next time ribeye would be@
Thank you. I may have to go out and buy a smoker.

What luck! What a story to tell for the ages! That’s enough beef to give anyone heart disease, so pace yourselves.
I’m envious, though. Google Kansas City and Texas and Memphis barbecue recipes.
What an incredible find of prime beef brisket. The top restaurant grade beef is not the same as you get in regular consumer supermarkets. They get the highest USDA grades. Sometimes aged. Good thing that accident happened in winter, and not the humid summertime? Enjoy your beef briskets.That's Texas barbeque #1 meat. Beef brisket. Go to Austin.
...UHH BBQ...? Everybody heading to Colorado...pics...brisket...? I’m in...
One of the most under rated cuts. Can be smoked baked or many other ways. Youtube has many tips on preparing it. Takes some time to prepare but worth the effort. Lucky day for you.
