Burnt End Experiment

[CinderKeeper]

Hey gang!

I am having a cookout this weekend and am thinking about trying something with a 5lb brisket point I have in the freezer. One of the dishes I want to make is brisket burnt ends as one of my main courses. I wanted to ask all of you your opinion on a cooking method I'm considering.

I am thinking about cutting the point into roughly 1"x1"x1" cubes, seasoning all the sides, then placing them on the smoker, cooking to a good color, then maybe throwing them in a covered aluminum pan with some butter, or BBQ sauce, or some sort of liquid.

The reason is for this is mainly just to speed up the cook, I figure if my main goal is just to make burnt ends, I might as well save myself the time of cooking the whole point and just start by cubing it. Has anyone tried this before? I might just entirely do away with the covered pan and cook them until tender as cubes. I've done this with pork belly a couple times before and it turned out dynamite.

If anyone has any experience with this or has any suggestions, I would greatly appreciate it! Thanks!

I might cube them a little larger, compensation for shrinkage...Like Panhead John getting out of the swimming pool.

This what I do with pork belly. Should work the same.

I did that. Worked pretty good. Pretty sure about 1x1x1x1x1.

I use this method all the time to make poor man’s burnt ends with chuckies. Works great and the nice thing is that you get a whole lot more bark. I cube up the chuck, rub all sides, then smoke away. When ready, I transfer them all to a pan with brown sugar, butter, and bbq sauce. They turn out amazing! Good luck!!

Not sure what you call "poor" using a dang chuck roast.

[Jfrosty27]

Yup. What RickyBobby said. I do it often with chuckies. Check out the Malcom Reed site howtobbqright.com. He has a recipe there.

Just like pork belly burnt ends. It works great!

[CinderKeeper]

Awesome! Thanks for the feedback everyone. I have always really liked Malcolm Reed.
