First time I’ve done a full brisket after years of smoking. When I first started I tried a few small flats and they didn’t come out well. Full ones are tough to get around me so I’ve stuck to other things.

Anyways finally got a full one, 13lbs before trim. It took about 12 hours on the smoker, wrapped when the point was around 170. I struggled to get the probes back in right after wrapping but probing the flat felt like butter when I pulled it.

The point seemed tougher so I made it into burnt ends. I’m regretting that though, I tasted a slice before I chopped them and I liked it better. Let me know what you think.

    Looks good to me. Nice smoke ring. I saved a brisket point after I made corned beef from the flat. I smoked it just for burnt ends. I was disappointed as well. But I did not taste tested before cutting it up.
