Anybody try this?

It worked and was pretty freakin' good.

Sliced point (not quite fully rendered) fried in a pan until crispy.

jb,

One Q, it seems like you sliced it with the grain, was that intentional? I guess that's how bacon is sliced, never paid attention to it, but pig isn't grainy like brisket...

They look good, I'm getting hungy...I need to get a shower, my wife is off to the store picking up some ingredients for cole slaw.

How were they?

as far as points go, after the bark, I don't pay much attention to them. I happen to be slicing up the flat on my slicer and threw the point in there afterwards since the thing was dirty. I think I was slicing it in the easiest orientation for the slicer, not really paying attention to the orientation of the grain.

how were they? let's just say my wife said it was better than the first run (then again she's not much of a brisket fan and prefers the extra crispy bark bits). It crisped up exactly like bacon, just not as salty.
 
I'd do it the same way with the grain. On the point, if you sliced it that thin against the grain, it would likely fall apart in the pan very easily.

Delicious looking stuff there. The point of brisket is usually the only part I enjoy. It seems to have a beefier flavor, even though I know its just cause it has more fat.
 
Looks like murder to me, tasty, tasty murder lol, nice idea. Next thing you know people will be cutting off their points and curing them to make "JB bacon"

Tom, I think you're right. with the grain kept it intact.

Paul, no cure, just rub and smoke. it definitely lacked salt.

Brandon, since Jim Minion set the bar aren't we all just looking for something to be attributed to us?

So true, the way the world is today, it seems everything has been done. Got a question, google it and *poof* theres your answer. Just for fun I googled "meaning of life" it returns a 33 page wiki
