Doesn't matter how good of brisket you cook.....

That is why I put a nick in the corner to locate the proper direction during my prep.
 
Been there, done that. I seen someone here put a toothpick in the direct that was across the grain. I do that now each brisket cook.
 
Believe it or not I actually did that AT A COMPETITION last year! Sliced right through the middle of the flat and immediately went :doh:
Luckily we cooked two that time.


Sorry to hear that man. Did you just go with chopped then?

Cutting a small chunk off against the grain is a must. I certainly can't tell which way the grain goes once the brisket turns into a meteorite.

While this is certainly true at competition..... your statement is finite....if not, in fact.... completely untrue outside the world of BBQ Pageants...
 
Unless you are cubing the point or chopping for brisket chili - cutting with the grain is unavoidable.
