I now have a 14 lb packer brisket, was thinking about trimming it how I want it, then cutting it lengthwise. The reason for this is it is just my wife and I, and really don't want to packaging and freeze, instead would rather smoke the other half another day. That way I can get double the fun with one brisket without a lot of leftovers.
Don't get me wrong I love leftovers, just prefer it more, if fresh off the smoker. I realize after trimming, cutting it, and cooking I probably will only wind up with about 5 lbs of cooked meat give or take, these days we only do about 2 lbs of meat with lots leftover. I like to use leftovers in other dishes like chili, or stew, but the wife does not care for smoked meat in anything else except a bun.:mmph:
Anyone ever do this? Any pros and cons on doing this?
