Smoking the flat of brisket

[mikeperez]

Due to sharing half a steer with my in laws, I didn't get the full brisket. I got the flat of the brisket.

I want to smoke it this weekend, using just salt/pepper, and butcher's paper.

Is there anything else I need to consider since it's not a full brisket? Will it be less juicy since it's missing the point?

Naturally it's easier to dry it out, because there's less Fat in the Flat, so keep an eye on it.

Here's the only one I have in my Index. It's a Small Flat that came out Great:

Great and detailed as always. Did you spruce the brisket during the smoke?

Not sure what you mean by "Spruce", but everything I did is noted, except for adding some of the saved Juices from my foiling mix back to the meat at the end.

Try SmokingAl s way of smoking a brisket flat! Turns out great and is worth the effort!

Injection with beef broth sure wouldn't hurt. Do all mine that way. Dalmatian rub- salt and CBP with a touch of cayenne

As said above, a brisket flat is very hard to get right.
But I have had good success with this method.
