Burnt Ends

BoneDaddy's

I have a nice 4lb point from my butcher, was wondering how to make burnt ends out of it. time/temp/direct or indirect, etc.

Thirdeye has a good recipe and tutorial on his web site. Playing with smoke and fire. The basic is to smoke like you would any brisket to the point where the internal temp is about 190/200. You cube the meat or keep the whole point on for another 2 to 3 hours. Put into sauce and continue to smoke until all the fat has been rendered. I smoke my butts and briskets at 245/250. For a whole brisket I smoke for 16/17 hours. Good luck to you. Tom

Here is a vsual of what BajaTom was talking about....these things are great. The ones above cooked down with some sauce, the ones below were sauced right before serving. BTW, you can also make PBE's (pork burnt ends), like in the bottom picture

So any time estimate for just a 4lb point? Would it be a good 22 hrs or so at 250?
