Going to venture into the mystical realm of the packer brisket on my Xl BGE.
It's just me and momma and cooking a 12 -15# er will leave a pile of leftovers. Does it freeze well? Reheat well? What are some other recipe/ uses for a full packer? I have a few in mind and would like to know what our distinguished group also does.TIA

I would much rather be able to say I was glad I did than wished I had........

    I have five simple words for you:  Award Winning Smoked Brisket Chili

    It does dry out fairly quickly, you'll want to try out recipes that add some liquid back in. Chili is the best; my wife refuses chili with ground meat now. I've used chopped brisket instead of chicken in this recipe: http://www.myrecipes.com/m/recipe/20-minute-chicken-enchiladas

    Just chopping and reheating with your favorite bbq sauce make really good sandwiches.

    Thanks guys for recommending my smoked brisket chili recipe.  We cut our smoked brisket into about 1-1 1/2# chunks and Foodsaver them, then toss in freezer.  This way we can make whatever size batch of chili we want.  Here's the link that I originally posted: http://eggheadforum.com/discussion/1163322/award-winning-smoked-brisket-chili-from-salado-eggfest-after-party-2014/p1

    We have done burnt ends from frozen leftover brisket and they came out great.  We had planned to make chilli with it but we ran out of brisket.

    I like to make a couple burgers by mixing in with my hamburger meat, assuming I can get my hands on left overs.  Brisket does not last long at my house.

    I am going to strongly disagree with all the above recommendations. Left over brisket is terrible as leftovers.

    I would place all leftovers in a tupperware container and leave outside your front door. I will come by and pickup and eat...I mean compost leftovers.LOL :-\"

    My sentiments exactly. I will add one more note to that verse. Nothing lasts long at my house. My wife is a hog ;)

    Chopped brisket pizza.   Did one about a week ago.  It was outstanding.  Mix a little of your favorite BBQ sauce into the pizza sauce.  Add some chopped red onions.  Use whatever cheese you normally use on pizza.
