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

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?
 
That is why I put a nick in the corner to locate the proper direction during my prep.

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.
