Bought a whole packer to make some corned beef since flats were stupid expensive. I picked a spot and just sliced the brisket in half. Point piece is right at 6 pounds.

Slathered the point and rubbed last night anticipating smoking today. Well, the bride has other plans for me. Gonna go to her grandmother's 93rd birthday, so it'll have to sit in the frig until tomorrow. Should make for some good grub for Sunday supper.

Finished pics of the point tomorrow at some point. Yep, pun intended...

I didn't take any pics of the corned beef prep, but I'll show pics of it in 20 days or so...

Same here - I've a packer in the freezer that is begging for attention, and I've never done corned beef - maybe now is the time

You just cut it in half? You didn't separate the point from the flat? Yikes ... You have one piece all flat and one piece flat and point. Grain going two different directions... Hard to slice

Nah, by the time I'm done with it,you won't need teef for this beef!

I'll smoke it to around 160-160 IT, put it in a 1/4 pan, add some of my "secret tender juice"*, cover and let it run until it's falling apart. The plan is to make this into chopped beef.

As for the corned beef, it too will be really tender and I'll separate the pieces after it's done. Flat for slicing, and what's left of the point for corned beef hash.

*secret tender juice is; a little of my home brew dark ale, a little ACV, a touch of Tabasco, and some chipotle sauce. Makes for some killer chopped beef!

All the talk about grain direction just sort of escapes me. That looks awesome no matter how you slice it!!
