Cost analysis

9 pound briscuit = $15
1 bottle liquid smoke - $2.45
Salts for rub = $2

Labor (rubbing meat, setting to rest overnight, preparing roasting vessel, removing excess fat, clean up) = 3 hours.

Total final product = slightly under 3 pounds.
Price per pound = $6.48, $6.98 if you include the KC Masterpiece that goes on top of the meat.

VS

5 pounds bbq beef in tub from Sams = $10
Price per pound = $3.33, and that includes bbq sauce.

What will I be buying from now on? The math says it all.
