Just opened up my brisket package from @wash11 , I don't recognize the cut. I am not sure how to go about cooking it as it's not cut like a normal brisket. There's 2 pieces netted together.

Maybe the flat and point already separated? I’d just cook it like any full packer if that’s the case...

That's kind of what I was thinking. It's only 4 pounds though.

Hard to tell, but it looks like they separated the top plate and placed it underneath. I would probably separate them out to smoke them, but that's just me. Good luck..

If I recall, our brisket from Joel was smaller too. Still came out great!

Leave netted and cook based on weight and desired finish temp and it'll be fantastic.

Years ago, we would do packer style briskets in our cut list which meant a lot of cutting and trimming on your part. The first time our current butcher showed us what she could do with a brisket we were sold. It's just one of several tweaks we've made to perfect what we offer over the years.

I usually open it up, rub the seasoning on all areas and if it will lay flat, smoke it like that. Low and slow about 225. I use the digital temp probes from Weber i grill. Perfect every time. Take some after pictures

Left the net on, seasoned and popped it in the pellet pooper at 250*.

Haven’t had much luck smoking bacon low and slow. Or veggies either. They get a creosote taste. Really need to see this brisket. Could have at least shown us the bark before you wrapped it 👀

bacon can be tough. It goes from floppy to burnt quickly. I either do it at 250 and crank it at the end or 400ish and watch it closely from the 20 min mark on.

Sorry fellas, no money shot. I started this way too late in the day. I thought sure being a small cut it would have taken less time. I hadn't eaten all day, pulled it to rest at 8:15. We were super hungry, I cut it up and chowed down.

Never ask a man how his meat tastes, unless you want to get yore feet wet. LOL

This, cook it wrapped and it will turn out awesome. :)

Suppose to cut it long ways?

on a tri tip yes, it would be width ways.

On a brisket, sometimes you need to cut in different directions because the grain changes.

always cut apposite of the grain.
