Faux Burnt Ends

[Ken Serwatowski]

Is there anyway to cook a flat that you can get a similar result to burnt ends or is there just not enough fat content? I have a couple of frozen flats and was asked to make a BBQ appetizer for a party and thought the cubes would be perfect. I know they would never be the same but has anyone had success cubing and re-smoking the flat? If so let me know, thanks in advance, Ken

As I understand it, places like Arthur Bryants in KC use both flats and points to make their burnt ends. As long as it's an untrimmed flat, you shouldn't have a problem making burnt ends of it.

By the lack of response looks like trial and error on this one LOL. Guess I'll give it a shot and see what happens, Ken
