Do you separate your packer before cooking?

steve6224 · 02-01-2012, 09:23 AM

I do not but I do trim to fit box before cooking

K-Train · 02-01-2012, 09:30 AM

We do it before slicing and making the burn ends.

smokeyw · 02-01-2012, 09:43 AM

I always cook completely before separating. I believe the flat next to the point is normally the best of the flat.

Yes, no, sometimes, never.

You can only make a poll if you are a paid member.

We cook whole then separate.

CMALANGA · 02-01-2012, 11:36 AM

Usually not. We cook it all the way then seperate before turn in.

NRA4Life · 02-01-2012, 11:43 AM

Never

I separate before cooking. I have had good results so far. I only have a few comps under my belt, but have done a good bit of practice and I prefer to do it this way. It gives me the ability to control the doneness of the two pieces of meat individually.

I may be wrong, but I see them as two different cuts of meat that cook differently.

I trim but cook as one but have watched a few winning teams separate and cook individually as they feel the meats cook differently.
