BBQ & Smokehouse menus -- frequently asked questions

Why is brisket usually the most expensive meat on a BBQ menu?

Brisket requires 12-18 hours of low-and-slow smoking and has a lower yield after trimming fat, making it more labor- and time-intensive than ribs or pulled pork.

What's the difference between 'by the pound' and 'plate' pricing at a BBQ joint?

By-the-pound pricing (common at Texas-style smokehouses) lets you order exactly the amount of meat you want; a plate bundles a fixed meat portion with sides at one set price, more common at Southern-style BBQ.

Is smoked meat pricing usually market-dependent like beef prices generally?

Yes -- brisket and rib prices on BBQ menus tend to move with wholesale beef costs more than other menu categories, so prices can shift within a year.
