Tried a full packer brisket flat vs. point side by side last weekend

The point side was way better, no contest. It stayed moist for hours longer on my offset. Anyone have a good method for just cooking the point by itself?

Totally agree, the point is the prize. For a solo cook, just treat it like a small brisket but watch it close. It can dry out faster without the flat protecting it, so maybe wrap it a little earlier in butcher paper. A good drip pan with some broth underneath helps a ton too.

Yeah @juliahall, a little broth in the pan saves it every time.

How early do you wrap it?
