Title: Separating flat and point cook time
Post by: sb2_7 on July 02, 2015, 05:40:12 PM

Do yall know if I was to separate a brisket flat and point will it cook in half the time as opposed to cooking the whole packer together? It seems in theory that's how it would work but i wondered what yall have found that have done it.

It would most likely cook quicker,but I don't think it would cut the time it half.

How to separate..

About 3/4 time for the flat to probe tender vs. keeping the packer in tact in my experience.

ive done multiple separated cooks vs the packer and imho, the separated is the best way to do it.  ive noticed a 30-40 min quicker time on the cook, however, on all of my cooks i never did the point and flat together.  thus, take my times accordingly.
