I have never used the brisket / short loin bags for either brisket or short loin, but I do use them for larger than average sized ribeye subprimals. I’ve found that a ribeye subprimal more than about 15 pounds in size fits much better in the brisket sized bag than the subprimal bag. I did a 20 pound ribeye recently in the brisket bag.

I also use the brisket size bag for top sirloin. That cut of meat is so fat that it doesn’t fit in any other size bag. There is a good deal of wasted bag material, but I don’t worry about it. The bags, while somewhat pricey, are not so expensive that it makes that much difference to me. A dry-aged top sirloin is a treat.

Same for me. I’ve never done a whole brisket (I’ve got a half-brisket aging in a roast bag). And I’m not sure what a short loin is. Is it a bone-in Porterhouse / T-bone loin?

I’m not captain dry-age, but I’ve done a few ribeyes. I’ve never found one I couldn’t squeeze into a Subprimal bag. I’m not sure if a larger ribeye would be a better ribeye, or would be an older ribeye.

So far — only using this size bag for sirloin.
