slicing brisket - Page 2

VQ uses Forschners. Best birthday present I ever got for him.

I use a 14 inch long Forchener knife for slicing my briskets.

My slicer is a Forschner, but I can't say enough good things about Dexter-Russell knives. They are very well made, comfortable to use, inexpensive, and they have an edge that won't quit.

Johnny cuts our brisket - he's such a good carver he can slice meat so thin you can read through it! The big Granton makes quick work of a brisket but I still can't get the slices as even as Johnny does so I leave it to him unless he has to leave early. I guess I was born to be a butcher, not a chef, as I truly enjoy knife work with raw meat more than cooked.

Before we put the rub on we put 2 slices on the long sides to make the slices even. then we use an electric knife.

We've tried three different knives plus an electric. After all is said and done, it's practice, practice, practice.......

I use a 12" Granton. I have a eletric, a cordless and about 4 other big slicers that I should sell on eBay. One bit of advice that I started doing. Right after brisket turn in. Go back you your camp and slice everything to turn in size. No matter how much you want to sit and catch your breath. Practice on them at comp style conditions than on those practice one's you do at home. Or don't just wrap them up and do them the next day. Hit them when they are hot. As Walt said... Practice.

Speaking of Walt. When are you going to be ready to get rid of that FE? I need to leave one out NE. Save me some driving.

Back off my FE

Scottie · 12-04-2008, 09:15 PM

Oh yea, I was asking for you...

Of the knives that we've tried, Theresa finds that the inexpensive Dexter Russel 12" Granton works the best and, as Scotty says, we carefully slice the entire briskets after each comp to gain more practice. We carry the majic chef sharpener and keep the knives very sharp. Theresa quickly wipes the blade after each slice (otherwise, you can get particles all over the next slice).

As for the FE, consider returning to your roots and pick up our slightly used and award winning Lang 60 which is up for sale......sticks rule!!

Nah, I'll just talk to Cookshack. My friend from Wisconsin wants to be just like me. Soon, he will have the power of 2 FE's...

To keep on topic, I also have a 14" granton that I think is too big for slicing.

LOL....It's not for sale fellers.....

Scottie · 12-05-2008, 11:23 AM

Everyone knows that you can't cook on both a FE and a Geer pit. No how no way... I couldn't even imagine anyone being able to accomplish such a feet. It's new school v. old school....
