What are you having for dinner?

[Janz3n]

are you doing any wrapping or anything? it looks like you might have a point end there, with the big bit sticking up being the bulk of the point, usually pretty well marbled but if exposed i could see it drying out.

if you want brisket but dont want all the brisket, see if you can get a flat, you can always supplement with a spritz/mop or wrap with extra tallow. I almost never eat the point outright, it either becomes burnt ends or gets tossed in the freezer to save for winter chili

It is the point. i always get the point because i feel like the flat will dry out and not be as good.

Nothing too crazy, chunk the point down and toss it in with any ground beef and anything else i want in the chili. I keep my chili seasoning blend low salt to give me room to play with brisket add ins

Ive been messing with burnt ends lately tried pork belly and chicken thigh most recently. Pork belly was ok, think i over cooked them a bit, but chicken thighs were amazing, tweaked my spice rub with ground up birdseye chilis

I think it definitely can but i like that it cooks faster, the marbeling in the point never feels right to me without the second cook in something like burnt ends
