I saw a cool YouTube on the origins of burnt ends and got inspired.

On the way home from work I stopped at Costco and nabbed a USDA Prime whole packer brisket for $2.99/#. I broke it down and trimmed it when I got home, separating the point and the flat ala Malcom Reed. The point will be smoked and dedicated to burnt ends on Sunday. Anyone else ever done this? Pointers?

Got the process started this morning. Hoping to have some savory burnt ends by halftime. I trimmed up the point to remove excess fat and went with Weber's Coffee Rub. The Egg is holding steady at 275*

I'm in the pork belly burnt ends camp. Can't get bring myself to sacrifice the brisket point. But enjoy the cook and follow-on eats. Lookin good.Louisville; Rolling smoke in the neighbourhood. # 38 for the win. Life is too short for light/lite beer! Seems I'm livin in a transitional period.

I decided not to cube up as burnt ends. It looked too tasty (and was!) this was my first time using butcher paper and it won't be the last. The meat spent 4 hours on the smoke and 3 1/2 wrapped in the paper. I let it rest for 30 minutes prior to carving.

Now that is some great judgment right there. And a great looking plate as well. Continue to enjoy this banquet and the follow-on from the point.Louisville; Rolling smoke in the neighbourhood. # 38 for the win. Life is too short for light/lite beer! Seems I'm livin in a transitional period.

Thanks. It was my best effort to date. The combination of prime beef, butcher paper, and some patience paid off. Frankly I think the patience can't be overstated. All of my previous efforts simply weren't done enough. The extra time in the wrap made a difference.Michiana, South of the border.

Several years ago, I asked a butcher to separate two points from the whole packer for me. He said I was the first to ever request that. I did burnt ends with them for a Super Bowl party, and I'd do it again. They were awesome. I'm just not a fan of the flat. At least, I'm not a fan of the flats I've made. The point seems to be so much more forgiving.
Your post is a good reminder that that I can slice the point as well! Nice work!LBGE since June 2012

Those burnt ends look great. They're perfect for a party.Michiana, South of the border.

My flats always seem to come out dry so they go into a simmering chili while the point goes right into the belly as burnt ends. Yum.

The greatest barrier against all wisdom, the stronghold against knowledge itself, is the single thought, in ones mind, that they already have it all figured out.
