You can see they are only connected by a fairly small area if some of the hard fat has been trimmed away...... Here's a real good recent cook by DetTigersFan http://www.bbq-brethren.com/forum/showthread.php?t=199646 You can see the 'hump" of the point well there..... Here's point next to a tri-tip: sort of rounded & thicker than what you've got there.... Last edited: Oct 25, 2014
