Silly question temp probe placement

[Rich S]

Hey all,
When you are monitoring meat temps(i know, i know i should go by feel ) on a brisket where are you placing the probe? Into the point or the flat?

 

[Rolf Jacobsen]

According to this site, the flat.

 

[Mike Freel]

If you seperated them then you will need to probe each since the cook time will vary

No keep them together

 

[J Hoke]

I do flat. I'm more concerned about it than the point that just gets turned into burnt ends or shredded beef anyway.

That said temp is less important than probe tenderness.

Rich, it goes in the flat
