The meat from the point is your best bet for burnt ends. Just separate the flat from the point once the flat reaches around 190. Then take the point on up to around 210. Then cut the point into cubes about 1 inch in size. Place them into a foil pan, cover with your favorite BBQ sauce. Put them back onto the smoker for an hour or so to get the sauce to kinda caramelize or glaze onto the pieces. I made some in this thread.
