Brisket Yield

AlabamaGrillBillies · Dec 16, 2008

I've got a question about full packer briskets, I don't cook these enough to know the yield of sliced flat I'll get from a average 12lb packer. I'll be saving the point for some chopped meat, but need to figure the yield from the flat. Any help would be great.

Depends on the size of the point. I have seen points that were half the raw weight and some that were maybe a quarter. If it is a larger point, i would guess you may end up with 2.5-3.5 pounds of cooked flat. This is just a guess.

We cooked a bunch of packers for a vending adventure once upon a time and our cooked yield was approximately 40% of raw weight. A friend of mine who is a professional vendor said that they get a much better yield using just flats instead of packers.

You should get roughly a 60% yield on a trimmed brisket flat.

I always figure 50% to cover for unknowns.
Only thing i can say is seperate it and weigh.
