    They are very expensive up here.

    Having done a few successfully briskets and cheap (pot) roast for pulling....I prefer the cheaper (pot) roast, pulled. Much quicker and less finicky to do as well. It comes out much more moist too if you foil it with some beef broth for the last couple hours. It's one of my favorite cuts to smoke.

    Plus pulled beef is versatile for tacos, beef melts, poutine or sandwiches

    Yeah they are pricey here too. That's why I'm practicing. I can get 2 5lb chucks for $20. And they are tastey.

    Thank you. I kinda planned on a bit of trouble. However I have tried to educate myself enough before attempting it. I have Le Cordon Bleu culinary school under my belt(though many moons ago) and am fairly confident around a grill. I am however new to the smoker world and my problem or the trouble will be time to complete I think. I am basically copying this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FVOh8430oCs except using Matt Pittman's Holy Cow and Holy Gospel rub.

    I think separating it will help with cook time and make it more manageable to work with...of course thats if it doesn't get destroyed in the trimming process....after all I am not a butcher.
    Also I think that the Super Smoke setting on the Timberlines have a different cooking profile then just the regular 225 setting so I am not going to use that setting as it should get enough before I wrap in butcher paper.
    :fingerscrossed: time to prep.

    Ok results are in. Burnt ends turned out amazing. The flat was a bit drier then I would have liked. It was super tender but I think I should have added some beef broth when I wrapped it. Also wouldn’t you know it I plan 2 extra hours of cook time and it’s done on the dot and didn’t need any extra. The Mac n cheese was amazing also.
    I trimmed a bit to much fat off the bottom of the flat but got the separation done ok. I’m sure next time will be better though as this was my first time playing butcher in like almost 20 years. Of course some pics.

    For tomorrow I'm thinking bacon wrapped brats smoked for 2 hours.

    I'll update tomorrow.

    Looks good but IMO yes you trimmed way to much fat off the flat. I have found about 1/4 inch of fat is ideal for the brisket. That's probably why your flat was a little dry, you need that fat to render down and thru the meat while it cooks. I don't add any liquid to the meat when I wrap it.
    Briskets a tough piece of meat to master, I still mess one up every now and then, it happens.

    I agree with you 100%. I really dislike fat on my meat and thought I would try to trim a little lower then the 1/4" norm. Well I accidentally went a little to far. It did turn out good. I am still taking it to work and even out of the microwave with no added moisture or sauce it still pull apart tender and tasty.

    I think on the next one I am going to leave it whole and wrap(paper again) with no moisture to see how that goes...of course not trimming so much fat either :rofl:

    Finally did a longer smoke on the kettle. Chuck roast at 225 for 6 hours. Wrapped it at 160 degrees then took it to 195. Omg the taste is amazing!!!
