>smoke whole brisket
>point comes out perfect
>flat comes out dry
What can I do to prevent this?
When it hits 160° internal separate flat and point. Probe them separate because the point will finish much faster
OP here, anyone have some real advise?
>>21481478why not just cook them both separately anyway? i cant think of a single reason not to desu
Put your fuel on one side, put the point toward the heat and the flat away from it
>>21481459 (OP)Arrange the brisket so that the point is closer to the heat source. That makes the point just a bit hotter over the course of the cook, which encourages the fat and juices to distribute evenly over the entire brisket instead of staying in the point.
>>21481459 (OP)Trim less fat off the flat
