Pretty good analogy that's why brisket cost so much and tri tip to you have a lot of shrinkage.someone has to pay i have to pass it on.

🔥 Brisket 101: Why It Costs What It Costs 🔥
A little behind-the-scenes look at what really happens to a brisket over 24 hours:

1️⃣ 18.4 lbs — fresh out of the package, big and proud.

2️⃣ 14.8 lbs — trimmed, seasoned, looking ready for greatness.

3️⃣ 8.35 lbs — after a 14-hour overnight smoke. Jiggly, beautiful… and nearly half the size. 😳

That’s a 45% yield on this brisket (average is about 50%).
So when brisket runs around $5/lb wholesale, that 18+ lb whopper is already about $100 before it ever hits the pit.

After trimming and cooking, you end up with about 8 usable pounds, putting the real cost closer to $12.50–$13/lb — before seasoning, wood, labor, or time.

BBQ isn’t pricey because we want it to be…
It’s pricey because brisket goes through a whole lot of shrinkage in the heat.
(Fellas, you get it.) 😉

Class dismissed. 😎
Keep supporing local, y’all!

Please share this and go vote Tuesday they're trying to sneak this in we the people need to vote this down no more new tax!!!!

PROPOSITION A.
Aren’t we taxed enough? On the ballot for Christian County is a proposal to vote in a new use tax. The justification for need is to protect local businesses from on-line purchases which are not subject to sales tax. There is no indication of how the use tax is to be used. There is no estimation of how much money this will bring into the coffers. This use tax would penalize voters who choose to purchase items on-line without any indication as to the need for these funds or how they will be allocated. Vote NO ON PROPOSITION A
