Brisket coaching session please
Would someone be kind enough to take pictures of the actual steps on the next cooks carving? I realize that this is a pain in the butt and I do appreciate it.
I suppose that I could just as easily go check on YouTube for a video. I just thought of that...
Thanks everyone! I really enjoy this forum.

Opinion here (and we all know what those are worth...) but the point is the best eats of the brisket. I don't do burnt ends for that reason. The Franklin videos will solve your brisket process questions. Enjoy the cook!
BTW-welcome aboard and enjoy the journey!

You don't have to do burnt ends, you can slice. I'd monitor the flat until it is done, then bring it in and take the point off. It should be fairly easy, the back end of a knife (no tthe sharp side) will usually be able to seperate it at the fat line between the two muscles. Then you can either put the point back on for awhile if needed, or chop it up for burnt ends and put it back on.

@DIAD - IMO, you should forget what you saw in that video you posted and pay attention to the Franklin video.XL, Large, Small, Mini Eggs, Shirley Fabrication 24x36 Patio, Humphrey's Weekender, Karubecue C-60, MAK 1-Star General, Hasty Bake Gourmet, Santa Maria Grill, Webers: 14" WSM, 22.5" OTG, 22.5" Kettle Premium, WGA Charcoal, Summit S-620 NG

@DIAD That video you posted is the worst f*&^ing video i've seen in my life! If I handed that guy my brisket to carve and he did that to it, I would punch him in his DAMN face!!!!!!!!Work so hard to get great bark and this joker just scrapes it off! OMG...it makes me mad that he did that and actually documented that to teach a bunch of harmless souls to murder a cooked brisket. I've also never seen someone put the seperated point back on the flat and carve them together.This guy definitely was not from Texas!!!!!!Just a hack that makes some $hitty BBQ....

Make sure to add that to the Pet Peeve thread. I know the separation is at an angle. @griffin, ,You really use the back edge of the knife? Will have to try that next weekend.

I'm no expert, but a good tip given to me was to get the floppiest packer you can find. You want less of the hard fat.#1 LBGE December 2012 • #2 SBGE February 2013 • #3 Mini May 2013A happy BGE family in Houston, TX.

YES!!!!! Success or failure starts at the meat market!! You want something malleable and floppy. I want to pick up the packer by the point and see the flat bend down like a diving board.Just a hack that makes some $hitty BBQ....

Done right I've seperated it by sliding my gloved hand between them.GQuiz said:Make sure to add that to the Pet Peeve thread. I know the separation is at an angle. @griffin, ,You really use the back edge of the knife? Will have to try that next weekend.

Franklin video does a good job of showing how to trim, but it also takes a little practice. My first packer I was worried about cutting off too much fat, and I left too much on.Which came first the chicken or the egg? I egged the chicken and then I ate his leg.

You have no clue what you're doing and I almost cried when you scraped the bark off. If you have too much fat on top, then you need to do a better trimming the fat cap.
PLEASE....IGNORE EVERYTHING HE'S DOING IN THE VIDEO! There are related videos on your sidebar that will lead you down the right path.Just a hack that makes some $hitty BBQ.... -

Thanks everyone! I have watched the Franklin video twice now. I'm gonna find his video's for post cook or slicing next.
Has anyone gotten a brisket from Sysco? I have a friend who owns restaurants but they use Sysco for their products. Not sure about quality and cost. He's getting me a price and details. Once I have them I'll post for feedback.
I really appreciate all of the help on here. This is truly one of the best forums on the internet in my opinion.

Yeah. Those are bulk. I read the first one was as two 8# CAB briskets for $6.40#. The 2nd listing is six 10-12# CAB briskets for 2.63#. Unless he's going in on it with you...pass. The first one might come cooked and smoked for you so you might save time. lmfaoJust a hack that makes some $hitty BBQ....

Yeah, I might just go to Sams so I can see what I am buying. The brisket is challenging even before you own it!Chester, MD
