I gotta tell you, I think a brisket flat is one of the most overrated meats in the BBQ world. Even when done properly, I am only looking to have a slice or two. IMO it rates just above chicken breast, and just below just about everything else.

Lots of folks like or dislike a lot of things.

Nothing wrong with that.

As far as low and slow beef I prefer tri tip. I've only done one 14# packer brisket that took me 12 hours to cook. It tasted great but I can make a tri tip in 1.5 hours and get more flavor out of it.

I do really like brisket points over the flat, but I won't turn down a properly cooked slice or two (or four or six). Having said that, I'd much prefer a nicely smoked chuck for pulled beef in a sandwich.

Liver takes on smoke well.

I do a bacon wrapped chicken liver that folks love, even if they do not normally like liver.

Must be a California bias. Glad you like tri-tip and so glad you're not a closet vegan!!

Texas contingent reporting in.

Proper brisket can be elusive, but when done right: man oh man, real hard to beat.

Yep, I've even wrapped the livers in marinated chicken thigh skin before smoking and finishing off over direct heat.
