You really can't miss it, especially when the brisket is hot. On the bottom you'll notice a long diagonal vein of fat, it separates the two. Slip your knife in there and just follow the soft path of hot fat.

The link above is a GREAT tutorial. Here's a link to my first cook following the tutorial, along the way you'll see the point literally pulled away from the flat:

Brisky

Try this,I put Salt and Cracked Black Pepper all over the brisket,compute the time at 1.5/lb. Put them in and leave it shut until my time estiment has come and then I open and test.I cook @ 200* to 225*f.and have no trouble.My Smoker:

and get tese results:

Hope this helps and,

Forgot.................;}-

When my Brisket is done,I rub my hand(no knife) down the flat on the fat and push toward the point end,the point just falls off.

@oldschool - same here with the gloves! lol. OUCH!! I use 2-3 glove layers too or the thin cotton/wool gloves under food gloves.

I was waiting for someone else to say it! :laugh:

Jokes aside, I agree with Oldschool, I use my gloved hand to separate the two. It doesn't take much to separate when the brisket is done.

I separate mine before the smoke. It's easy, visible and necessary.
