    Strange cut of brisket - not sure what to do

    I ordered a "Brisket Flat Split Half" from a small farm - but what they sent me was the point end of 1/2 of a Brisket (~6.5 lbs). I am a bit annoyed, I figured they would know what a brisket flat is.

    Figure I will smoke it as I would a normal Brisket, though I am tempted to split the flat from the point. Anyway mostly venting, but what would you do?

    Cut off the plastic, cover in oil to make rub stick and biff it on the pit frozen @325F. Cook it whole

        As above, cook, eat, and enjoy. You know how. Same as always. Yum. The only bad thing is less leftovers!! 🤣

          I would much rather have the point so I would be happy. Like others have said, prep, cook and enjoy. I wouldn’t separate the point and flat on this one.

            But, I would... I'd pull the fat out of the middle and set aside to render. Being that the approach would extract some juice-ifying (new word - will be in dictionaries next year) I'd twine it up and inject beef bone stock - a bit initially and maybe again before wrapping after the stall.

            That's an awful lot of fat to try smoking as is - it occurs to me that the evaporative loss would keep the cut in stall for way too long.

            I usually don't wrap, but wrapping and subsequent cambro are 'cook saving' steps. As the cut is a bit odd, use all the techniques you know to assure success.

              If I may suggest, trim, dry brine, season/rub, smoke low and slow. Enjoy an adult beverage sitting back with friends, and watch the light blue smoke wisp by.
