Split a 12lb flat?

[TXSmokingMike]

Hey all! First post here. Been smoking a couple years now with tons of help from all of you. I’ve done mostly full Packers and some chicken, but picked up this very large flat that I don’t need all at once so wondering if I should cut in half before smoking? Would freeze the rest for a month or so. Thanks for the help.

You could certainly do that

Take A look at this thread, SmokinAL wrote this up for doing small or halved flats

I don't see why could not split it. Sounds like a monster flat!

Thanks everyone! And yes it’s a huge one! About 3in thick.
