I watched a video a few days ago on slicing brisket that would help understand. Unfortunately, with all this time off I've been drinking more than usual and can't remember the site. ...

Is this the video?

The cutting starts at 6:40.

@stemc33 ... you may have had a fail, but the rest of us learned a lot.  Thanks for posting.

If it is tough, chop it up and make chili! My first brisket was a fail.

 Sorry man, try another, ask your butcher for a full packer as others suggested, much easier to cook, make some chili now. Maybe it was a blessing in disguise, you need chili.

Brisket chili rocks and I did learn something as many have said.

@Jeepster47‌ that's not it it was embedded in an article and the guy sliced the flat up to the point the fat vein was showing about half way up the slice then he turned it up on its side and sliced the point off thru the fat. I'll try to find it again tonight.

@theyolksonyou ... thanks ... it's now book marked. 

Have to laugh though.  Two guys (Franklin & Fourton) with two similar but different methods of prepping, rubbing, smoking and final cutting.  Got to love BBQ'in for the art form that predominates.

@stemc33‌ be happy you jacked up the first one and got it out of the way on a smaller cut. Make some chili, get a big brisket and get back on that horse.

Practice makes perfect, pay attention to your mistakes as it will lead to better cooks in the future.

Good cooks have simply made more mistakes.  Egg on brother.
