Beef burnt ends using the entire brisket

[caspian]

I prefer burnt ends and would like to make the entire brisket into burnt ends. I tried searching the forum and googling, and had no luck. Has anyone done it? Times/Temps/Process?

I'm not sure how far the ad covers, but the Dayton, Ohio Area Krogers has brisket for $1.99/lb!!!!

Grab some and freeze it for later.

I would just do what you do with the point, with the entire brisket. In other words, cook it to 190-200, then just cube it all up and put it back on the smoker in a pan w sauce, for a couple more hrs. Understanding that the flat pieces won’t be as juicy as the ones from the point, but it’d still be good I’m sure. Maybe you could just cook the pieces from the flat for less time than the ones from the point.

That’s what I’d do, anyway.

I don’t want to tell you how to bbq but burnt ends using the flat of the brisket will not turn out like the point ends do. Lack of fat will dry them out. And honestly it’s a waste of a perfectly good flat. Burnt ends are delicious but I fear your heading down the wrong road with this one. I’d smoke the whole brisket and slice the flat like normal.

Good luck

I second this. The flat burnt ends just aren’t what the point ones are. You don’t end up with the same taste, texture, etc.

Well, how about a seafood boil then?:p

See if you can find points only. Or do two, save the slices for sammies.

I think I would just do pork belly burnt ends,if you are looking to make a large amount at one time, cause burnt ends from a flat are going to be dry & chewy.
