I'm doing a load of them today. When my packer cuts are done,
I cut off the points and throw them back in the cooker another
few hours. Then I chop em up and toss in a little sauce.

Does anybody else do burnt ends? How do you cook them?

I've been wanting to know about this for awhile too. I've made
brisket only a couple of times, using a packer cut both times. I
think I cooked the flat too long while waiting for the point to
come up to temp.

The point ain't nuthin to worry over. When the flat's at 188°F or fork
tender, it's time to take the whole thing off.

It's an odd thing. The point is usually done before the flat because of
the fat in it. The selfsame fat allows the point to be cooked longer
than the flat, where it is rendered away with the additional
cooking-leraving those yummy burnt ends.
I see a lot of trimmed flats but what happens to the points?They're
never sold separately. I could really enjoy q'in up about 3-4 nice
size points without the flats.....

Actually that's sort of my situation. I had all these uncooked
points in the freezer. Whenever I make pastrami I only use the flat
so I was looking for new things to do with all the points.

A few times, not always, the thinnest parts of the flat have come out too
dry. They get chopped up for burnt ends - great in beans or pasta sauce, or
just served with a lot of sauce.
