So what are they and what part of meat do they come from?
Thanks

Burnt ends are pieces of beef brisket (usually from the point/deckle and sometimes from the ends of the flat) which (after the brisket is done) are chopped (in roughly one inch squares), re-seasoned, sauced if you like, and re-smoked.

Great stuff.

For a commercial BBQ place, Famous Dave's Burnt Ends are pretty decent  :P

Thanks... I thought so but, just making sure. I'm not a brisket guy so I've really never cooked them.

Thanks!!

Burnt ends are my absolute favorite part of brisket, especially when taken from the point end. With the extra fat in them, when re-smoked & sauced, they are like eating little pieces of smoky beef candy... YUM!

For the past 20 years I've been grinding the uncooked Point for delicious burgers. However, I think my next one will turn into Burnt Ends  :P

I love burnt ends but I'm conflicted - the point also makes the best chili ever.

Yes it does. I coarse grind first, pick out enough for chili, the rest gets ground a second time thru the medium plate for burgers
