There’s tons of ‘how to’ videos about cutting brisket. This one is by far the best I’ve seen. Super helpful. Thank you.

[@jvallas]

How you picked up those end cubes and managed not to put one in your mouth is massive willpower.

[@PabloEskimofo]

You’re a life saver bro! About to serve a brisket in a few short hours, was sweating on how to cut it properly. Clear and concise video, thank you so much!

[@skalamaz3]

This is one of the best slicing videos I've ever seen. I used to separate the point off the flat and cube it. No longer.

[@jaysantos536]

Here's a much better one from a far superior pitmaster: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fomvmH6MeMqffMU

Why do you need to cut it? Can't you just put it between two slices of bread?

I just made my first one today, so happy I watched this before I started to slice! Thank you my dude! Love the videos

[@jamesbrinson8510]

Man. I have watched a couple of your videos and I will say you are a cut above 98% of bbq videos. I can see you have real experience and cut out the no frills bs. Great Job and keep up the great real deal bbq work.

[@donapoindstribbling2172]

I love corned beef. My grandmother died before I learned how to make it in the oven from her and how to vut it, so I only learned to boil it and always guessed at the cutting. Thank you for teaching me how to cut it and now I will make one on the grill yours looks so good.

[@aloknight3656]

Super helpful! I work at a bbq joint and I've been having a lot of trouble with slicing the fatty end of the brisket. It would get all stringy and look like pulled pork if I didn't cut it thick. But now I won't have trouble thanks to your tip, thank you very much.

[@celestelipford6675]

I made my first briskets this year on our outdoor brick grill that I turned into a makeshift smoker. This video was the best I’ve seen regarding cutting the brisket. I watched a few others and always had additional questions but this video answered them all. Thank you.

[@BruceRoman]

Excellent video. Detailed and precise. Well done...and thanks!

[@RH-tg5pe]

Literally one of the best cutting videos ever!

[@paulcarne2545]

I've seen so many confusing descriptions but this was super clear, thank you.

I will be re watching this before I cut my next one! Thank you for the video!

[@davidmills4353]

Perfect presentation. Well done, you’re a natural!

[@bcroft68bc]

I’ll be smoking my first Brisket on Christmas Eve. I’ve always heard that you’re supposed to cut cross grain, but I never knew that the grain changes in the Brisket. Thanks for the informative video.

[@Chris-29]

How did you're first brisket turn out?

[@bcroft68bc]

@@Chris-29 it turned out ok but just a little drier than I hoped for. I’ve since learned to control the temperature in my Pit Boss better.

[@waymondwade2511]

Your videos are awesome! I am definitely using this technique in the morning. Merry Christmas and blessings going forward into the New Year!

[@philippedebasquette5341]

Just made my best brisket ever and sliced it correctly thanks to you. It was a cap i cut separately but the waste fat location and slicing direction was spot on

[@pentonhusqvarna]

Got my red butcher paper, rub, sprayer, Jealous Devil charcoal and Diamond King Smoker Wood Chunks. Tomorrow is my first attempt at brisket smoking. Slicing instructions very helpful. Thanks!

Thanks man. Just smoked my first brisket. Bought bc it was on sale and only the thicker half. The half you turned to cut. I was planning to carve this puppy up the wrong way until I saw this. Appreciate the tip

[@jeremygrover3324]

I did one a few weeks ago and watched a ton of videos I really wish I would watch this one this is the best informational video on how to slice brisket I've seen yet

[@jackgranadoz5440]

Great video on slicing a Brisket! I'm waiting about 30 minutes before I slice into a Brisket that just finished cooking.

[@PaddyWelsh]

Excellent video. Extremely helpful for beginners like myself. Thanks bud 👍🏻

[@theladye1011]

Thank you I have such a hard time cutting brisket. This was very helpful!!!

[@robertsummerhayes1220]

Dude I love how everyone is drinking and playing corn hole while you are all serious at the smoker slicing up a brisket. Story of my life brother, dont regret a minute.

[@kanabapuka]

Thanks for a great video, well presented and informative - that is why I enjoy your videos.

[@karengonzalez3870]

I thought finally I need to learn how to slice a brisket (while my husband was preparing one all day) and found your video. I feel so lucky to have found it and the first and only one I looked at. Thank you! But a question, If you are going to heat up a few pieces for a meal, is there a good way? That still evades me. 😏 oh ... I even used a bread knife like you mentioned.

[@carlosmatthews6652]

Great video! Love the hat too. Representing my city of Taylor

[@transam4555]

Great video I just learned something today.. I was always slicing it all the way across from the flat to the point was not aware you have to rotate the point well done sir thank you for this video

[@karlkrasnowsky3895]

Thanks for the tips. Still a question. The rule of thumb is the grain of the flat runs in relatively the opposite direction of the point. So you slice the flat in one direction, turn the point portion 90°, and continue slicing. However, there's no delineation where the flat ends and point begins, as the flat runs over the top of the point. So without removing the flat from the point and slicing separately, is it possible to technically following this rule?

[@georgedaher1189]

I have always been terrible at slicing brisket, it always comes apart on me. Today i used your technique in this video and damn i got so many compliments on my sliced brisket. Thank you Jeremy for posting this.

[@KomLit]

Ty already in my 9th hour of a 14lb beast. I am still a noob but man when we took it out to wrap it. It looked so good. Now i know how to cut it right thanks to you. You earned a sub from a fellow youtuber

[@geraldschreiner1099]

How did your brisket turn out?

[@TheJourneySoFar1966]

Thanks! I've been cutting brisket all wrong for years! Got a brisket on my pellet grill right now. Will slice it this way when its ready.

[@jaysantos536]

But you are STILL cooking it wrong! Offset smoker with oak or pecan REAL wood is the only way to go. Pellet grills are for women.

[@kelz3486]

@@jaysantos536 whatever. If you cannot cook it other ways then you have zero skill man.

[@PAINTnPONG]

This is a very well spoken and detailed guide, I thank you. Have a 2021 kickoff monster in paper nearing completion right now and this will certainly be the method for the cut :)

[@loseerich493]

Fantastic video. Thanks for having this out for folks to reference against.

[@trumprocks5795]

Thanks for making the video brother! I know it sure helped me I have only been smoking brisket since last year, with no instruction!

[@beckie6819]

Your brisket looks so yummy! My husband smokes a really good brisket too. I also use a bread knife to slice brisket and cut both of the ends and trim that fatty piece like you do. I never thought to turn the point portion to slice it. I always separate the layers and slice. Next time we smoke a brisket I will definitely try out your point slicing method. Thank you!

[@Pitt89X]

Thanks man, you’ve help me a ton last couple years! 🙏🏼

[@kennyc6177]

This is always my go to reference prior to slicing up!! Thanks.

[@anthonycecena]

Looks like your near the beach somewhere, here in KC we separate the flat and point at the end and make a full point of burnt ends instead of just one little strip. Looked really good though.

[@Ingeniousleo85]

Got my very first brisket resting right now, so why not come here and see how I’m supposed to cut the thing 😂. Thanks for all the videos and tutorials!

[@CMane]

Beautiful. Thanks for the demonstration. 👍👍🔥💥

Great video, good detail, not too long, stayed on subject. The way you sliced the point I applied to a brisket I smoked today, it resulted in less waste. Thanks!

Thanks for helping me slice my first brisket!!!----Certified Bbq Judge

[@tjinla9850]

Many or most "brisket" slicing knives have straight cut edges. I have the Dalstrong Gladiator 12" and it's nice for "smooth" meats like hams, turkey, commercial cooked meats but I find the straight edge, even though razor sharp, crumbles the bark on brisket and pork. I have since gotten a couple of 12" serrated knives and they work better. The 12" serrated Victorinox was too flexible for my liking although it cut brisket fine. The cheap Mercer 12" serrated knife from the local restaurant supply store seamed more ideal to me. Works great for cutting ribs too. I love working with the right tools for the job.

[@lewis19r]

I agree!

He said he didn't want to serve it to people! If I threw away the fat in front of my family, they might stab me.

[@mikehillproject]

Im glad I found and watched this video, Im about 30 minutes out from cutting my first brisket. The hard part is waiting

[@damienwhite1883]

Nice work mate

[@mguerramd]

I seperate the point from the flat, scrape off ALL the inter muscular fat, and then slice them individually. This leaves the outside fat on the flat that you trimmed to thickness before cooking. And of course the point has all the fat in it you could possibly want anyway .Then serve a little of each to the guests and tell them to take a small bite of point with each bite of flat. Try it once.

[@entropymark]

Thanks for the tip [no pun]! I never remember how to cut this correctly after 16 hours or slavish pit affection. Very much appreciate getting to the point, without 20-30 minutes of background ego. -enjoy!

so did you just let it go overnight without spraying? I'm new to brisket just done my first last weekend and it turned out pretty good. I've seen videos' where they just cook them over night without spraying and some that do it every 30 - 45 minutes after two hours.
