The only thing I would add is:
I have found that when the brisket is properly done, you can take a gloved hand and seperate the point from the flat without using a knife.
It is so predicable that I can tell the finish texture from just that test. If I have to use a knife, they come out "under-done"

This stops any problems with cutting flat or point accidently and mixing them up. Each portion is clearly defined and YUMMY!

Great Job!

TIM
No chit.....great information and visuals. Since I rest the flat for 2 or 3 hours, while the point is finishing out on the pit, I generally use the back side of a knife when separating the point. This keeps the moisture loss to a minimum.

This is what I'm talking about when I welcome a new member in Cattle Call: "....enjoy what you learn and share what you know." Chris has exemplified the Brethren Spirit to the nth degree. Thank you Chris. This just may be the best Brisket post this site has ever had. Need to make a sticky out of this one and 5 stars.

That is an outstanding tutorial! It would have saved me a lot of heartache & pain if you had posted it a couple of years ago. My brother got his first smoker about a month ago, & I e-mailed him your "instruction manual." He's as dumb as a box of rocks, so he'll probably still screw it up. Oh well, at least I tried.
