How to Slice Brisket 

There’s tons of ‘how to’ videos about cutting brisket. This one is by far the best I’ve seen. Super helpful. Thank you.

You’re a life saver bro! About to serve a brisket in a few short hours, was sweating on how to cut it properly. Clear and concise video, thank you so much!

Man. I have watched a couple of your videos and I will say you are a cut above 98% of bbq videos. I can see you have real experience and cut out the no frills bs. Great Job and keep up the great real deal bbq work.

Literally one of the best cutting videos ever!

I just made my first one today, so happy I watched this before I started to slice! Thank you my dude! Love the videos

I’ll be smoking my first Brisket on Christmas Eve. I’ve always heard that you’re supposed to cut cross grain, but I never knew that the grain changes in the Brisket. Thanks for the informative video.

This is one of the best slicing videos I've ever seen. I used to separate the point off the flat and cube it. No longer.

Super helpful! I work at a bbq joint and I've been having a lot of trouble with slicing the fatty end of the brisket. It would get all stringy and look like pulled pork if I didn't cut it thick. But now I won't have trouble thanks to your tip, thank you very much.

Why do you need to cut it? Can't you just put it between two slices of bread?

Always on point with your videos. Really helped me with my brisket cooking. Thanks!!

Honestly, one of the best food instructional videos I have seen... And I have seen a lot. Thanks for sharing this great video.

This is a very well spoken and detailed guide, I thank you. Have a 2021 kickoff monster in paper nearing completion right now and this will certainly be the method for the cut :)

I love corned beef. My grandmother died before I learned how to make it in the oven from her and how to vut it, so I only learned to boil it and always guessed at the cutting. Thank you for teaching me how to cut it and now I will make one on the grill yours looks so good.

Thanks man , love your videos, very helpful, hi from Germany

Thanks for a great video, well presented and informative - that is why I enjoy your videos.

Just made my best brisket ever and sliced it correctly thanks to you. It was a cap i cut separately but the waste fat location and slicing direction was spot on

Love your vids, bro! Please keep them coming!!

Great video, good detail, not too long, stayed on subject. The way you sliced the point I applied to a brisket I smoked today, it resulted in less waste. Thanks!

Thanks for the tips. Still a question. The rule of thumb is the grain of the flat runs in relatively the opposite direction of the point. So you slice the flat in one direction, turn the point portion 90°, and continue slicing. However, there's no delineation where the flat ends and point begins, as the flat runs over the top of the point. So without removing the flat from the point and slicing separately, is it possible to technically following this rule?

Great video I just learned something today.. I was always slicing it all the way across from the flat to the point was not aware you have to rotate the point well done sir thank you for this video

I love the hat. I miss Louis Miller BBQ in Taylor, Texas now that I live in Salt Lake City. Keep up the great work!

This was so helpful, Thank You!!

Excellent video. Detailed and precise. Well done...and thanks!

About to slice into my first one. Thanks for the tip and video!

Your videos are awesome! I am definitely using this technique in the morning. Merry Christmas and blessings going forward into the New Year!

Love your videos brother, you’ve helped my smoking journey get better. Keep up with the good great videos.

Thank you I have such a hard time cutting brisket. This was very helpful!!!

I will be re watching this before I cut my next one! Thank you for the video!

I did one a few weeks ago and watched a ton of videos I really wish I would watch this one this is the best informational video on how to slice brisket I've seen yet

I've seen so many confusing descriptions but this was super clear, thank you.

Great simple explanation. Thanks.

Same here! Thank you Sir!

Great video man. ❤

Just found your channel. This was awesome.

I have always been terrible at slicing brisket, it always comes apart on me. Today i used your technique in this video and damn i got so many compliments on my sliced brisket. Thank you Jeremy for posting this.

great video. very informative

Very solid info, enjoyed hearing you explain it. Throwing two briskets on my LSG tomorrow, so thanks! Liked and watched the ad to help a brother out :) Smoke on 👉 💨 -Jonathan

Awesome Tutorial!

This video was so helpful!! Thanks for sharing!!

Thanks again. Great video.

Thank you sir will be trying my first brisket this weekend

Watched this for ideas on slicing the point and may have a winner.

Thank You! You just made my life easier!!!

Love the hat, used to go there weekly for lunch when I worked right down the street from Louie Mueller’s

Very nice, as a matter fact I’m getting ready my smoker ready right now to cook a brisket . Thanks for the video.😎😎

Nice work mate

That a really good video thank you 👍

Very informative. Thank you

Thanks for making the video brother! I know it sure helped me I have only been smoking brisket since last year, with no instruction!

Excellent video!

Got my very first brisket resting right now, so why not come here and see how I’m supposed to cut the thing 😂. Thanks for all the videos and tutorials!

This is fantastic video!!! Cooking another brisket this weekend, I hope it comes out as good as the one you are slicing.

Best brisket slicing video on earth!

Awesome video, thank you.

Your brisket looks so yummy! My husband smokes a really good brisket too. I also use a bread knife to slice brisket and cut both of the ends and trim that fatty piece like you do. I never thought to turn the point portion to slice it. I always separate the layers and slice. Next time we smoke a brisket I will definitely try out your point slicing method. Thank you!

Thanks a lot for the Video!

Perfect Thank You

Great video! Thank you!

Very good tips!

Perfect Thank You 🙏

Explained perfectly 🤘

Great video on slicing a Brisket! I'm waiting about 30 minutes before I slice into a Brisket that just finished cooking.

Awesome Video!!

Many or most "brisket" slicing knives have straight cut edges. I have the Dalstrong Gladiator 12" and it's nice for "smooth" meats like hams, turkey, commercial cooked meats but I find the straight edge, even though razor sharp, crumbles the bark on brisket and pork. I have since gotten a couple of 12" serrated knives and they work better. The 12" serrated Victorinox was too flexible for my liking although it cut brisket fine. The cheap Mercer 12" serrated knife from the local restaurant supply store seamed more ideal to me. Works great for cutting ribs too. I love working with the right tools for the job.

Exactly what I needed to see. Slicing later. Cheers J.

Thanks Bro👍🏾👍🏾

That first cut of the flat goes to the Pit Master.

Thanks man!

I am happy that I just watched it, Sunday will be my first Brisket day, pellet-smoking this for 12 people - you've saved me, man! Thank you!! +new Subscriber

Great video! Love the hat too. Representing my city of Taylor

Your videos are terrific! Thanks for showing them with such great explanations. I'll learn how to smoke a perfect brisket eventually!

This was a great video! Thank you for breaking it all down

Great video

You’re the best bro!

Looks like your near the beach somewhere, here in KC we separate the flat and point at the end and make a full point of burnt ends instead of just one little strip. Looked really good though.

Great job

I thought finally I need to learn how to slice a brisket (while my husband was preparing one all day) and found your video. I feel so lucky to have found it and the first and only one I looked at. Thank you! But a question, If you are going to heat up a few pieces for a meal, is there a good way? That still evades me. 😏 oh ... I even used a bread knife like you mentioned.

If Ii were to use a brisket for chili, 1) would you recommend to cook it first then cut it up 2) would you use either the flat, point or both for the chili and 3) what size cube would you use? Half inch ot inch size cubes? Thanks

Awesome vid ...doing my first brisket and had no idea about the 90 degree turn

Just sliced my first brisket I couldn't believe how juicy and tender it was

Love the Louie Mueller hat! The best BBQ on earth is in Taylor, Texas!!!

Great video and perfect slicing technique
