I, personally, wouldn't risk smoking pork at that temperature for that long. Google the 40-140-4 rule which generally summarized is that you don't want pork to sit between 40deg and 140deg for 4+ hours as dangerous bacteria can grow.

I'm having a difficult time finding a brisket out here. I usually do brisket for Memorial Day.

there's 3 of these in your metro area
https://www.chefstore.com/


And one of these
https://www.restaurantdepot.com/

2 of these. With one off the 512, by the south hills mall.

https://www.costco.com/

AND of all places that people get their whole briskets from. The reviews from a few different smoking forums is positive for their Choice Packers .

Walmart.
310 31st Ave SE, Puyallup, WA 98374


googlemaps is your friend.

IF you want to drop some serious cash. As well as make a few connections.
Try the farmers markets. We hit a few of them up around here. Meat wise, very competitive with the safeway's, and kroger's, with better quality local meats

One down the road from your area.
https://www.puyallupmainstreet.com/

depending how far you want to drive, there's 1/2 dozen in the area.

I haven't yet made it a quest. ;-)

Already checked out the local Costco by the mall and nada. I might have to check out the business Costco up in Fife.

I've been thinking about poking my head in this shop down the street: https://www.bluemaxmeats.com/

I just left Costco and they have plenty of packer briskets in stock but be warned that it's $4.99 a pound for Choice grade. Usually Costco runs Prime grade for roughly the same price but today it was only Choice. My guess is most people shopping don't notice that but I definitely did. Big difference in meat quality.

Agree on the Prime at Costco.....

You can buy the same grade @ wally world for $1-2 dollars less.
