I haven't cooked much brisket bc it wasn't until recently that I've been able to pick up full packers without special ordering them from a butcher. Now that I have found a source, I'm ready to try some things. This was the first time I've ever separated the point and flat. Interesting process. I was amazed at just how much fat I removed. This 20lb packer came with 7lbs of fat effectively changing the price from $3.95/lb to almost $7! I'm planning on 4 different cooks. Chili con carne w 1/2 the point, which I made today and it was delicious. I follow MH's recipe. With the other 1/2 I'm going to make Jerod Broussard 's "Burnt Overalls" . Amazingly, I've never made burnt ends w brisket so i'm excited about that. I'm going to cut the flat in half and do a compare and contrast of the sous vide and regular pastrami. Here's today's chili.

Tons of fat on most packers. I had one that had a paper thin, and I mean paper thin layer of fat between the point and flat. All others, copious would be the appropriate term.
Love Meathead's chile/chili/chilei/chilie, I just need to add plenty salt next time. The salty chips don't add near enough for me.

Oakgrovebacon , remind me, do we use all the fat except the deckle? I did make beef love once before but it's been a long time and I vaguely remember reading not to use the deckle but can't be sure.

That is some mighty tasty looking chili brother !! One of the largest cook offs in the country occurs every year at the Houston Livestock Show & Rodeo. It has pretty much morphed into a BBQ competition but years ago it was called the Texas Chili Cook-off. Your picture reminded me of those days, your entry looks like it would have placed well my friend !!!
