Going to smoke brisket for about 30 people this Sat. Mostly older folks--60 to 80 years old. I am planning on 1/3 to 1/2 lb./ person.
I was planning on smoking the whole thing but as I get more into this it seems you guys and gals like to separate the two pieces to make burnt ends. I thought the whole brisket was cooked then you could take off the point and make burnt ends or you could slice and serve it. We went to Nashville this spring, had brisket twice and both times they asked-- lean or fatty? I assumed the whole thing was cooked and then sliced??
Cooking time? About an hour per lb. is what I figures on my old Kamado, but If I do 2 briskets ,one on top of the other do I need to add time?
