Freedom Fire BBQ

Why is brisket expensive? 🤔

A quick BBQ math lesson…

Raw brisket cost:
$6.40/lb

⬇️

After trimming & cooking
A brisket loses about 50% of its weight, making the meat cost about:

$12.80/lb

⬇️

Typical restaurant pricing
Most restaurants need to charge about 3× food cost to cover labor, rent, utilities, insurance, equipment, credit card fees, and everything else it takes to stay in business.

$12.80 × 3 = $38.40/lb

That means…

🥩 ½ lb brisket: ~$19.20

🥩 1 lb brisket: ~$38.40

⸻

Freedom Fire BBQ charges:

🥩 ½ lb: $15

🥩 1 lb: $30

We’re not posting this to complain. We just thought it would be interesting to show why brisket costs what it does and how BBQ math actually works behind the scenes.

We want to thank J Masse Sign for absolutely crushing our trailer wrap, they exceeded our expectations!

We know everyone’s struggling right now because Freedom Fire BBQ isn’t open yet. The support group meetings have been overwhelming, and we hear some of you have resorted to eating salad.

The trailer is ready. The smoker is ready. The briskets are emotionally prepared.

The only thing we’re missing is a place to call home.

We’re looking for a spot in or around Norton where we can park the trailer long-term, plug her into power, and use a licensed kitchen/commercial space as our commissary so we can prep and cook out of the trailer. If you’ve got a property, know a business owner, VFW, Elks, Legion, campground, church, industrial lot, or anyone who might be interested, let us know.

Help us help you get BBQ back in your life.

Your patience during these difficult, brisket-free times is appreciated.

We got it!! We are heading back with our beautiful new addition to the Freedom Fire family 🇺🇸🔥
