"Manager's special" brisket point

[sudsandswine]

Stopped at the store for some non meat things the other day and did my mandatory pass through the meat dept. They had a 3lb trimmed brisket point on "manager's special" yellow tag presumably due to some purely cosmetic discoloring from the packaging. Price was right...been a long time since I cooked such a tiny hunk-o-brisket.

Onto the Mak 2*, Lumberjack competition blend pellets, Oakridge BBQ Spogos. "Smoke" setting for 2 or 3 hours, 230* after that (Chef Alarm said more like 250*, have to figure that out later). Pulled it when it probed tender after about 6.5 hours. I ended up wrapping it in foil, seemed to feel a bit dry to the touch despite my spritzing...small piece of meat + lots of airflow I guess.

Turned out pretty decent for a select brisket, should make a few tasty sandwiches:thumb:

Never seen one. Would but them if they were there - great chili.

Yeah the local grocers usually have little hunks of flat or point like this in the 2-3 pound range priced at like $7/lb. No thanks, luckily this wasnt anywhere near that thanks to the discoloration.
