So my mom has a few brisket flats that she got buying a beef a year ago that she has no idea what to do with. I told her I could smoke them, slice 'em thin, and then freeze them in vacuum bags and then use them as sandwich meat when we go camping. She thought that was a great idea.
Now my problem is, I've never done "just the flat". I've done a dozen packers before, but never the flat. I doubt there is much fat on the flats she has so I'm worried about how to keep them from drying out. I'm thinking maybe just salt and pepper would be good enough for this kind of use, but I'd be interested in other ideas for flavoring them up.
Would anyone have any suggestions on what temp to cook them too?
How long at what temperature (approximately)?
How to cook them?
Thanks for the help, I get my WSM today and I can't wait to put it to work!
