Not the point I was looking for....

Asked a new butcher to separate a point for me. As far as I can tell, they basically cut a full packer in half right down the center... Not exactly what I was looking for... We had discussion about the approach, and I just took it as I felt I could roll with it as it was cut. What do you all think? Should I separate the half point / flat.. Or just go for it as is in one big chunk?

I know it’s just one man talking here, but I would cook it “as is”. Why bother or trouble yourself with farther desecration when it will actually cook better intact. That’s just me though........

You're probably better off. I did the surgical separation thing last year and the point was much smaller than expected (see below). It was tasty, but there were not enough leftovers. That later of fat between the point and flat really keeps the flat moist when they're cooked together.

good choice...definitely seek out a new butcher. When a bunch of rookie eggheads know bovine anatomy better than the butcher then someone needs to retire.

Turned out tasty no less. Finished the burnt ends with basic BBQ sauce + beef broth + a little honey over top. Tried a few with Cherry Coke + cherry Juice + Carolina style (no sugar) sauce. The Cherry Coke version was a bit much. But fun to try. I might try the cherry juice + Carolina style without the Coke next time... But my fave is the basic BBQ sauce + broth. We often leave the suckers in a bit long so we get a good crunch on top, then toss them into a slow cook pot of cowboy beans. Killer cowboy beans.
