Help slicing my 2nd brisket correctly

I did my 1st brisket a couple months ago. I think I sliced the brisket the wrong direction. Help me with my 2nd brisket I'm doing this weekend. Is the red line the correct way to slice this brisket?

Yes. cut across the grain, stay 90* to grain as it changes.(you may need to make adjustments) If you get a lot of bark you can score the meat before cooking for a visual later. Good luck.

Just like Brownie said!!

That looks correct, if it's that 90 degree angle to the grain. Put in three toothpicks now on the red line. In that way, when you lather it up with rub and can no longer see the grain, you'll just put your knife next to the toothpicks and start cutting. You use three toothpicks in case one pops out during rough handling.Small (hatched 6/13/2015)

I'd cut it now along the red line so you can follow the cut later when slicing.

That's a full packer, right? You should separate the flat and carve as you have indicated (you might want to notch that reference so you can tell when the meat comes out of the egg looking quite different). The grain on the point runs different, but it's easy to tell because of the fat.*******Owner of a large and a beloved mini in Philadelphia

yea, notching isn't a bad idea, after a good smoke and rub. The bark can hide the grain, cut a little chunk off the end of that sucker
