Smoke the brisket as normal. Separate the point from the flat. Cube the point into 1" cubes. Add additional rub and sauce and return to the smoker at a slightly higher temp for a few hours. Here are some I made tonight:

(tubular muscle of the point, and inter-muscular fat...why they make such good BE's when done right)

..to THIS (BE's with varying levels of bark ((YUMMY!!!)), 2 very thick, tender and moist slices of flat, and a Yukon Gold tater):

(pis from my latest double-packer smoke back in late April)

I prefer open-grate second smoke for BE's. Internal temps of the point are everything when pulling the packer for separation. I shoot for the upper 150's to mid 160's range, and get a great interior moisture with a popping tender chew, and the bark is well-developed with a variety from a crispy crunch to slightly chewy. Lots of contrasting textures to tease your senses with this method. We love 'em this way, and open grate is the only way I smoke BE's now.

For more info, check my signature line for packers or BE's...I have several threads with start to finish methods and tips.

Once you try BE's and get a decent batch, you won't be able to smoke a packer often enough...and, unfortunately, there's never enough BE's to go around for a large family or smaller groups, so if you make them for small parties or gatherings, don't dilly-dally with just one packer...they go FAST!!!

Those look Awesome Eric!!!

Here's some I did awhile back. I like the open grate method also! I tossed these with some spicy chipotle bbq sauce mixed with some brown sugar, heat and sweet!

NICE, Dave! Even the coloring of the cut surface spells HOT! I would love that variation...a few of my kids, and definitely my wife, would not have it, though. Hmm, I could make multiple batches for the same smoke with a sweet & heat, and a toned-down version...hmmmmmmmmmmm...

Thanks for the idea, Dave!
