What is the best part of brisket to slice from. I have done both and the point always seems to have much better meat. Any suggestions would be great. thanks

I don't do slices I do chipped/pulled from the point only. Slices are overated

I agree that slices suck, compared to pulled from the point.

Pig I would try and get cubes out of the point for Burnt ends. I would take slices from the flat. Not sure if this is what you are asking. I do prefer the flavor of the point. Burnt ends are my favorite

That is basically what I am asking, The point is so much better, but for comp norm they want those sliced flats.

We turn in slices from the flat and if we can get the burnt ends perfect we put them in the box as well. I would say half the time we get the burnt ends in the box with the slices. I havent seen any difference in scores either way, but i dont think I would ever turn in a box without slices. Brisket is by far our best category, now can someone tell me how to cook chicken and ribs.

When you go to a comp where flavor is all that's scored you choice is easy then.

I'm no comp veteran or anything, but I did slices from the flat and sauced cubes from the point. 5th place in my only comp to date.

That's a nice box. I was thinking slices surrounded with chips/pullings from the point.
