Fairly new to smoking briskets, but the brisket my buddy bought is too big for the rack on my smoker.

I've got 4 racks so I'm considering separating the point from the flat and cooking it in two racks.

Has anyone tried separating it, and what's the best way to go about prepping and cooking them?

Thanks

It can be done, but I would not suggest it, most people need the point on top of the flat to keep it moist.

I tried it in the spring. Was a complete failure. Both pieces ended up dry.

It can be done, just is tough.

I usually only separate them after they are done. I cut the point up for burnt ends, lather them with goodness, and pop them back in the smoker. Meat candy!

How to CookBBQ right on Youtube just made a video about doing this. His way seems to be the best I have seen for keeping the separate pieces from drying out.
