The Brisket Chronicles - Part III

[Dr_KY]

I sent my brisket link to my brother who forwarded it on to a friend who made the "best brisket" he ever tasted. I heard from the guy and found out he only does the point. I thought hmmmm.... not quite as impressive as you'd think.
Photography is my passion, truth my obsession.

No pictures didn't happen lol

These are some great threads you guys have put together, I am book marking each one of these.

LOL true

Leg Pit?????

Equating it to yourself I believe it is your pectoralis minor and the flat is the pectoralis major.

Well, I can't say I haven't braised a brisket, but I can say I've never cooked one on a smoker so all the information here is VERY valuable to me and I will be referencing when I do my first. Thanks Bigmista and everyone else in this thread!

These brisket threads are definitely keepers. Thanks to all for sharing your wisdom.

I dont know about that, but I do know that Mista does a great job with his briskets. Thanks again for the info.

Wouldn't that be a crotch?

I separate because some of my customers ask for only lean brisket and others ask for the fat-end (some call it the booty end). Also in competitions, I cook the whole brisket but I only turn in slices from the flat because it looks better.

I never quite object to spearating fopr this reason... just the use of the premium "Booty Meat" for burnt ends. Of course, this is fine at home. And frankly I am the type of guy that complains about you doing it but growls at you if you try to take your burnt ends back. LOL MMMMMM

Hey, Neil, after all, you got to separate it because how can you attack a Booty [sic] of you don't attack from the back?
