Frozen flat for chili

[churrodog]

I had a few too many after the last brisket cook and froze the entire flat in one huge chunk.

I realize it will need to at least thaw before being able to cut, but was wondering if I need to heat it in order to get good thick slices to chunk up or if it can be sliced while still cold without messing with the texture.

Also wondering if you chili lovers prefer chunks more like burnt ends or slices or chopped. I really liked what it did for the slices last time giving them a bunch of moisture and a great texture too, but not sure if I was a fan of the chopped that I threw in with them.

Nah, I have a lot of tools but that's not one of em. Just got the mental image of hacking at it with a die grinder or reciprocating saw though :loco:

Put it in the fridge and let it thaw, I prefer to chop it up for Chili, Brisket Chili is the best.
