Burnt Ends
« Reply #-1 on: March 17, 2013, 04:39:07 AM »
I didn’t show any pictures of how I did the burnt ends from the full packer brisket post I put up a couple of days ago so here is the info with some pictures. I hope this answers the questions from the folks that were interested in this process.

After the brisket was done, I pulled it from the smoker and then cut off the point which will be used for my burnt ends. I cut the point up into squares measuring about 1” by 1-1/2” pieces. I put these pieces into a pan and added some more rub and cayenne pepper, some beef broth, and some Blues Hog Sauce. It then went back on the smoker for about 2 more hours to get them as done as I wanted. I took them off the cooker and placed the brisket chunks on some paper towels to drain and cool down and then they went into the fridge for another meal.



This is what they looked like when I pulled them out of the fridge for my lunch.



I selected about 5 pieces from the bowl and then heated them up for my meal and then added a dribble of Blues Hog sauce. Served with a baked potato, a piece of my sourdough bread, and some tomato slices.





This treat is just so much better than the standard brisket in my opinion and believe me, I don’t share these burnt ends with my neighbors!

In my house, burnt ends as good lookin' as those would never have made it to the fridge for an overnight stay.

Oh Yesssssss :o

My problem with burnt ends is eating them the minute they come out of the smoker.  Never have had any left over  ;D

Those are some great looking burnt ends.  Burnt ends always make me wonder why you can buy brisket flats but never see the points packaged by themselves (other than maybe as hamburger).

I was just thinking the same thing. I would by the point over the flat any day of the week.........

Why can't you make burnt ends from the flat?  I always thought that they made burnt ends from the point because the grain goes in multiple directions in the point so it's harder to serve sliced.

Doesn't the point have more fat in it so it hardly ever gets dry like the point can.....?
