I just received a 27# prime brisket from Wild Fork. Has anyone ever cooked a brisket of this size? I usually try to buy in the 13-15 # range. Any tips would be appreciated

Wowser!!! That’s a beast! Unless you are planning to cook for a BIG group, you might consider splitting it into a point and flat for separate cooking. Or, as @Pacman suggests, plan on seeing a couple of sunrises and sunsets.LOL! I’ve ordered several times from Wild Fork and been very satisfied. Last week I ordered a brisket for my brother and made a larger order including a brisket for myself. The suggested weight was 13 pounds. His came last Friday and was 4 pounds and mine arrived today and was 27! pounds. I have never heard of one so small or large!
I've actually done it almost by accident before. When you start hacking away at the fat seam between the point and the flat, all of a sudden you see the path of fat to separate the two. A good sharp knife and not hacking (as I suggest) isn't very difficult. I do a worse job trimming the perimeter and removing too much fat cap most of the time. Thankfully, time forgives a lot of mistakes on the longer cooks.I've never separated the flat from the point before but I would be super tempted to do that with one that big.
